3. Punjab Kings

Punjab Kings had yet another disheartening campaign in IPL 2022 as they failed to qualify for the playoffs for the eighth consecutive time. Following a poor season, PBKS released a total of nine players from their team, including their former skipper Mayank Agarwal.

Punjab also decided to let go of Odean Smith after he failed to perform as per expectations. The West Indies all-rounder featured in six games and could only score 51 runs at a strike rate of 115.91. On the bowling front, he gave away runs at an economy of 11.87. Besides Odean, PBKS also parted ways with ace all-rounder Benny Howell.  

The Punjab franchise will enter the IPL 2023 auction with the second-biggest purse (INR 32.2 crore) and they would likely target top-quality multi-faceted cricketers. With the likes of Stokes, Green, Curran, and Holder up for grabs, PBKS is expected to go hammer and tongs for either of them quartet.

However, even if PBKS manage to acquire any of the marquee all-rounders, they would like to add depth to their side and so, pick quality backup options at the auction. The think tank could ponder over roping in someone like Sams. The Australian all-rounder has proven his mettle in T20 leagues around the world and also in the international arena.
