The biggest change for the Punjab Kings (PBKS) during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 was the reunion of the captain, Shreyas Iyer, and coach Ricky Ponting. Their partnership has carried the franchise to the playoffs for the first time in 10 years, since they finished as the runners-up of the IPL 2014.
Punjab didn’t go through consistent performances in the last few campaigns of the tournament. Whether it’s with the bat or the ball, they were clinical throughout the entire 2025 season of the league. Shreyas, with the bat, has led the side from the front.
Punjab Kings’ signing was also incredibly good in the IPL 2025. Priyansh Arya, the left-handed opening batter, caught the eyes while Prabhsimran Singh continued to grow in stature and smacked a few great knocks throughout the season.

Punjab did well not only at their home venue, the Maharaja Yadavindra Stadium in Mullanpur but also on various away grounds.

In the leadership department, he brought freedom among the young players, which helped them to play their natural game and get better with every inning.
Priyansh Arya is another terrific performer in the line-up for the franchise. The Southpaw creamed 424 runs in 14 innings at an average of 30.38 and a strike rate of 183.54, thanks to two half-centuries and one fifty.
Prabhsimran, at the opening position, smacked 499 runs in 14 innings at a strike rate of 165.78, with five half-centuries. In the bowling department, the left-arm pacer, Arshdeep Singh, is the leading wicket-taker with 18 scalps in 13 innings at an economy rate of 8.56.
In patches, Marco Jansen and Yuzvendra Chahal also recorded vital wickets in various phases of the game.
Punjab Kings' negative for IPL 2025
Glenn Maxwell and the middle order surrounding him remain the biggest negative for the Punjab Kings in the IPL 2025. The Australian all-rounder could add only 48 runs in six innings at an average of eight and a strike rate of 97.95, with the best score of 30 runs.
Yuzvendra Chahal wasn’t in great form at the beginning of the season before finding the right rhythm with the ball, especially in the middle overs. Apart from Arshdeep, a few other Indian bowlers are required to do well in the season.
They also dropped Marcus Stoinis in the middle of the season because of the wrong combination. On the other hand, Marco Jansen’s absence from the playoffs will be an issue for the franchise’s combination.
