Big Changes in PBKS for IPL 2025
If you’re a PBKS fan (or even if you’re just cricket-curious), you know Punjab Kings love to shake things up — and this year is no different.
First off, they went all-in during the auction and grabbed Shreyas Iyer for a whopping ₹26.75 crore! Yep, PBKS splashed the cash big time, but hey, leadership doesn’t come cheap, right?
And speaking of leadership, they’ve also roped in Ricky Ponting as their new head coach. Ponting’s aggressive coaching style could be exactly what PBKS needs to snap their playoff jinx. With Iyer and Ponting working together, PBKS fans have plenty to be excited about this season.
The squad also features some key players who’ll be crucial in big moments:
- Yuzvendra Chahal – He’s still spinning batsmen into a web of confusion.
- Arshdeep Singh – The young gun with ice in his veins during death overs.
- Glenn Maxwell – Well, you never know what’s coming with Maxi, but when he’s on fire, it’s pure magic!
On paper, this lineup looks solid. But then again, as we PBKS fans know, it’s never a smooth ride with this team!
PBKS Home Grounds for IPL 2025
PBKS will split their home matches between two venues this year — because why settle for one home ground when you can have two, right?
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur
-
- This is PBKS’s primary fortress in IPL 2025.
- Located in New Chandigarh, this modern stadium offers a solid home advantage.
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala
-
- Hands down one of the most beautiful cricket grounds in the world.
- Picture this: snow-capped mountains in the background while PBKS smashes sixes!
By mixing their home venues, PBKS gets to connect with fans in both Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. Smart move, huh?
Can PBKS Finally Break Their Playoff Jinx?
Now here’s the big question — Can PBKS finally crack the code and reach the playoffs?
Let’s face it — PBKS hasn’t seen playoff action since 2014. That’s 11 long years of heartbreak for their loyal fans. Last season, they finished 9th on the points table, which triggered this major team overhaul.
But honestly, this year feels different. With Shreyas Iyer’s calm leadership, Ricky Ponting’s no-nonsense coaching, and a squad that’s got both firepower and depth, PBKS has a genuine shot at glory.
If Shreyas can anchor the batting lineup and Glenn Maxwell fires at the right moments, PBKS could finally see themselves in the playoffs — and maybe even lift the trophy!
Of course, if you’re a long-time PBKS supporter like me, you know it’s best to stay cautiously optimistic. We’ve had our hopes crushed before — but hey, what’s cricket without a bit of drama?
