PBKS heads into IPL 2025 with renewed optimism after a significant squad overhaul aimed at breaking their playoff drought. Under the leadership of Shreyas Iyerwho brings valuable experience from his successful stint with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and with Ricky Ponting as head coach, the team is poised for a fresh start.

The squad features a balanced mix of talent, including key players like Prabhsimran Singh, Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis. The batting lineup is expected to be anchored by Iyer and supported by young talents. The bowling attack, led by Arshdeep Singh and featuring Lockie Ferguson and Yuzvendra Chahal, offers a blend of pace and spin.
