Punjab Kings have decided to part ways with their captain KL Rahul ahead of the mega IPL He uncapped openers Mayank Agarwal and Arshdeep Singh as of the 2022 auction. According to several reports, Punjab approached Rahul but things went well between the two sides as the Indian opener seeks a new challenge in the league. Rahul led the Punjab franchise in the last two seasons but failed to qualify for the play-offs. The talismanic batsman scored a massive amount of runs with the bat, but his fellow teammates did not support him much except for a few. The batting order had a disappointing performance last season as PBKS finished sixth in the points table.
PBKS will try to improve their team after failing to win the trophy since its inception. Over the past few seasons, PBKS has lacked quality overseas batsmen, which put pressure on KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal at the top. Meanwhile, in the bowling department, PBKS would like to regroup some young players in the auction
It will be a tough task for them to make a team in the IPL auction as next season two new teams will also be included in the league.
Punjab Kings put the players in order
1 Mayank Agarwal – 14 crores
2 Arshdeep Singh – 4 crores
PBKS will have a hefty amount of Rs 72 crore to build their team and their first target will be to hire a player who can lead the team. Management will play a vital role in the journey of PBKS from here.
