Pre-season

The 2025 Indian Premier League was the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), a professional Twenty20 (T20) cricket league held in India, organized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).[5] The Punjab Kings were one of the four active franchises to not have won the IPL title prior to 2025.[6] The team finished in ninth place in the previous season.[7] The tournament featured ten teams competing in 74 matches from 22 March to 3 June 2025 across 13 venues in India.[8][9] Punjab played most their home matches at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium[10] with one match played at HPCA Cricket Stadium,[11] except for the last two, which were moved to Sawai Mansingh Stadium following the IPL's suspension and rescheduling.[12][13]

Player retention

Franchises were allowed to retain a maximum of six players from their squad, including a maximum of five recent international players.[14] Franchises were required to submit their retention lists before 31 October 2024.[15] Punjab retained two players, but did not retain their prior captain[16][17] who announced his retirement.[18]
