Last season’s runners-up mainly need to fill a few gaps following the partial availability of Josh Inglis and find an overseas all-rounder to replace Glenn Maxwell for the upcoming season.

In addition to these players, PBKS might sign few uncapped Indian talents as long-term investments. Players like Tushar Raheja or Kartik Sharma could act as reliable backups for established names such as Prabhsimran Singh, adding depth and future potential to the squad.

Punjab Kings are entering the IPL 2026 auction cautiously. With a few strategic signings, they are one of the teams to watch.
