‘El objetivo son los cubiertos, nada más’: PBKS presiona a Ricky Ponting antes de la subasta de IPL

Punjab Kings (PBKS) have made it clear: they’ll not settle for anything less than a trophy in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Coming into the 18th edition of the league after revamping their coaching and team setup, PBKS CEO Satish Menon vowed that they’ll surprise fans, build a strong core, and hunt for that elusive silverware. 

“We have a plan in place for adding to the core. You will see a lot more surprises as well. You will see the core group forming and we are confident we will go all out and make a big play this season,” CEO Satish Menon stated in PBKS’ press release.

“This auction will be critical as we go there with maximum purse. We will build on what we have at the moment. It will be an interesting auction, especially for us, as we also have a new coach in Ricky Ponting. He is one of the sharpest minds in cricket. You will see us develop an extraordinary team. Our goal is to go for silverware this year – nothing short of that,”

“We have seen Prabhsimran (Singh) develop over the last six years. He is a player that we have put a lot of faith in. We have seen him bloom. He played some fantastic innings last year. We believe he is on the cusp of breaking into the big leagues,” he said.

“As far as Shashank (Singh) is concerned, he is known for his batting at multiple positions in the order. He showed his mettle last season. He continues with the same style and passion. That was one of the big reasons why we retained him. He is a gun fielder. And these two players are the best fits for us,” he added.
