Kavya Maran and Preity Zinta
IPL provides a great platform for all the cricketers around the world to showcase their skills. By playing here, players get money and fame. The IPL holdings have been completed and now all eyes are on the mega auction, which is scheduled for November 24-25. In this auction, many franchises will form completely new rosters and many of the most expensive players are also expected to be purchased. Punjab Kings co-owner Kavya Maran has always included players in her team by paying huge amounts of money. In the last auction, he had bought Pat Cummins for Rs 20.50 crore. On the other hand, Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta is also known for showering money on players. Sam Curran was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 18.50 crore. Now also in the mega auction all eyes will be on Kavya Maran and Preity Zinta and a bidding war will be seen between them.
Punjab Kings retained only two players
The Punjab Kings team has not won the IPL title even once till date. The team had reached the final only once but then had to face defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders. Now, to win IPL 2025, Punjab Kings have probably thought of creating a completely different team. For this reason, the Punjab team has retained only two players. These include Prabhsimran Singh and Shashank Singh. Both players had played well for Punjab for some time and had single-handedly led the team to victory in many matches.
Punjab Kings Kings have more money
Now the Punjab Kings have the biggest purse ahead of the mega auction IPL 2025. The team is left with Rs 110.5 crore. While in the auction 4 RTM can be used. I would like to bring back Arshdeep Singh and Ashutosh Sharma to the team through RTM. Arshdeep bowls dangerously early in the innings and is also very economical.
Sunrisers Hyderabad retained five players
In IPL retention, Sunrisers Hyderabad team has retained 5 of their strong players which include three foreigners and two Indians. SRH has roped in Pat Cummins, Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Nitish Kumar Reddy. You can now use an RTM in the mega auction. Sunrisers Hyderabad currently have a purse of Rs 45 crore left. Hyderabad is 65.5 crore less than Punjab Kings. Until now, Hyderabad had won the IPL trophy once in the year 2016. The then captain of the team was David Warner. Last season, under the leadership of Pat Cummins, Hyderabad reached the finals but KKR broke their dream of winning the title.
