IPL 2024 Auction: Check PBKS full list of released, retained, and new players.
Punjab Kings (PBKS), previously known as Kings XI Punjab, have always been considered as a team that consistently falls short of expectations. Despite a promising start in the first IPL season, where they made it to the semi-finals under the leadership of Yuvraj Singh, PBKS has struggled to achieve similar success. Their only appearance in the final in 2014 resulted in a loss against Kolkata Knight Riders. The 2023 season was particularly disappointing for PBKS as they finished in eighth place.
PBKS retained players: Shikhar Dhawan, Jitesh Sharma, Jonny Bairstow, Prabhsimran Singh, Liam Livingstone, Matthew Short, Harpreet Bhatia, Atharva Taide, Rishi Dhawan, Sam Curran, Sikandar Raza, Shivam Singh, Harpreet Brar, Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, Nathan Ellis, Rahul Chahar, Gurnoor Brar, Vidwath Kaverappa
PBKS released players: Shahrukh Khan, Raj Bawa, Baltej Dhanda, Mohit Rathee, Bhanuka Rajapaksa
