The Punjab Kings (PBKS) enter the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season riding the wave of their best performance in over a decade. Last year, the franchise reached the final of IPL 2025 under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, finishing as runners-up - a feat that has boosted both the team's confidence and ambition. With last season's momentum, PBKS are determined to take the ultimate step and claim their maiden IPL title.
Shreyas Iyer will continue as captain, leading a squad filled with experience and firepower. Key players include Yuzvendra Chahal, Marco Jansen, Marcus Stoinis, and two-time T20 World Cup winner Arshdeep Singh. The franchise also strengthened its lineup in the IPL 2026 auction, acquiring Australian bowlers Cooper Connolly and Ben Dwarshuis, aiming to add depth and versatility to the team.
