Punjab Kings Full Squad, IPL Players Auction 2026 Live Updates: The Indian Premier League is set for another exciting season, with the IPL 2026 Mini Auction bringing several big decisions for all teams. IPL 2025 runners-up Punjab Kings entered the auction with a limited purse but a clear plan. Despite having just Rs 11.50 crore available, the franchise used the auction smartly to strengthen an already balanced squad.
Punjab Kings had one of the most settled teams last season and chose to retain the majority of their core players. With only four slots to fill two overseas and two Indian the team focused on maintaining balance rather than making risky big-money buys.
However, the franchise also made some tough calls. Star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was released after failing to deliver consistent performances last season. Australian all-rounder Aaron Hardie was also let go, a move that surprised many fans. Josh Inglis was released as well, mainly due to his limited availability in the early part of the season. Overall, Punjab Kings appear strong and well-prepared as they look to go one step further in IPL 2026.
Shreyas Iyer, Arshdeep Singh, Azmatullah Omarzai, Harnoor Singh Pannu, Harpreet Brar, Lockie Ferguson, Marco Jansen, Marcus Stoinis, Mitch Owen, Musheer Khan, Nehal Wadhera, Prabhsimran Singh, Priyansh Arya, Paila Avinash, Shashank Singh, Suryansh Shedge, Vishnu Vinod, Vyshak Vijaykumar, Xavier Bartlett, Yash Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal.
