IPL 2025: 5 Capped and 1 uncapped player PBKS might retain ahead of the mega-auction

The Punjab Kings might be the only other franchise barring the Delhi Capitals which have constantly underachieved ever since the inception of the Indian Premier League. Over the years, PBKS have always assembled a squad that has been viewed as a strong one on paper. Unfortunately, what ultimately matters is the performance on the field, something which PBKS have always fallen short of. 

The past couple of seasons have been quite disappointing, in particular. The franchise finished eighth and ninth, respectively. The Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) in India is yet to finalize the number of retentions which franchises will be allowed to make as well as the utilization of the Right To Match cards.

Here are the five capped and 1 uncapped player PBKS might retain ahead of the mega-auction:

6. Ashutosh Sharma

Uncapped Ashutosh Sharma could be another retention for Punjab Kings, becoming an unexpected performer for PBKS in the IPL 2024, Ashutosh Sharma showed glimpses of class on several occasions and if he is retained, he will aim to have another good season. Having played some breathtaking knocks in previous edition, PBKS won’t want to let go the power Ashutosh brings along.
