Punjab Kings to Target Australian Duo in IPL 2026 Auction? Minor Tweaks Away From Elusive Trophy

In this week’s episode, we unpack Punjab Kings’ off‑season manoeuvres ahead of the IPL 2026 mini‑auction. The franchise retained a whopping 21 players and released four key names — including Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, Aaron Hardie, and Kuldeep Sen — signalling a clear strategy shift.

With their retention spend totalling ₹113.50 crore, the Kings enter the auction with just ₹11.50 crore left to fill four remaining slots (two overseas).

We then highlight the top players the Kings are eyeing in the auction: explosive middle‑order batsmen, impact overseas all‑rounders and Indian bowling reinforcements. Expect analysis of fringe dark‑horses, budget ceilings and strategic fits within a limited purse.
