Punjab Kings are preparing for the IPL 2025 auction, having retained only two uncapped players. The team is looking for a new captain after Shikhar Dhawan's retirement and Sam Curran's return to the auction pool. KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and Shreyas Iyer are potential captaincy targets. Rahul has previously led the team and is a strong batsman. Pant, who has a connection with new coach Ricky Ponting, could also be a key addition. Shreyas Iyer, the 2024 champion captain of Kolkata Knight Riders, is another option. England's Jos Buttler and former RCB captain Faf du Plessis are also considered strong candidates for the captaincy role.
