Punjab Kings (PBKS), under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, will begin their IPL 2025 campaign against Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on March 25 (Tuesday). Iyer, who played a crucial role in Kolkata Knight Riders` (KKR) title-winning campaign in IPL 2024, will become PBKS’s 17th captain in 18 seasons.
The franchise secured Iyer for a whopping Rs 26.75 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction, making him one of the most high-profile acquisitions of the season. After missing IPL 2023 due to injury, the stylish batter made a strong comeback in 2024, scoring 351 runs across 14 matches and leading KKR to their third IPL title. However, despite his success, KKR opted to release him ahead of the auction.
