Punjab Kings is one of the rarest sides that is yet to get their hands on their maiden IPL trophy. Every season they come into the auction to rock and roll. Kings have an image in the auction to set the stage on fire by getting engaged in the bidding war with other franchises over a respective player. And, the scenario was pretty the same on the previous night of the auction.
In the previous edition, they picked Glenn Maxwell, Chris Jordan and Sheldon Cottrell at a whopping price. This season they released their heavy picks into the auction pool in order to pick their replacement that can help the side in winning their maiden title.
Punjab Kings had the biggest purse of all the franchises and they used this power in the best possible way. They didn’t back out while picking any of the players in the auction except for Kyle Jamieson. Punjab Kings bought a total of eight players in the IPL 2021 auction. Let’s see how the auction turned out for the Mohali-based franchise.
