The club in the book
Punjab Kings — Kings XI Punjab for their first thirteen seasons — have reached two finals (2014 and 2025) and are still waiting for a title. Their draft pool is a study in one-man batting eras. Shaun Marsh won the inaugural 2008 Orange Cap with 616 runs and costs just 0.8 Cr in the pool; a decade later KL Rahul put together four straight prolific seasons (2018–2021) that occupy four of the club's five highest-rated batting slots.
Rahul's 659-run 2018 at a strike rate of 158 is the shelf's best season, with his 670-run 2020 just behind. The bowling peak is Andrew Tye's 24-wicket Purple Cap year in 2018, and the value pick is Arshdeep Singh's 18-wicket 2021 at 0.29 Cr. The deepest Punjab roster in the game is the 2025 squad that carried the club back to a final — Shreyas Iyer's 604-run captaincy season is its priciest ticket at 27.9 Cr.

FAQ
How many Punjab Kings player-seasons are in the draft pool?
290 playable player-seasons across all 19 years from 2008 to 2026. Seasons up to 2020 carry the era name Kings XI Punjab. The pool includes both final runs — 2014 and 2025 — and every KL Rahul year in between.
What is the highest-rated Punjab season in the game?
KL Rahul's 2018 — 659 runs at a strike rate of 158 for 17.2 Cr. His 2019, 2020 and 2021 seasons all sit close behind, which makes choosing exactly one Rahul year one of the trickier calls in a Punjab all-time draft.
Which Punjab season is the deepest to spin?
The 2025 squad rates as the club's deepest single season in the pool — the roster that reached the final, headlined by Shreyas Iyer's 604 runs at a strike rate of 175. Its depth comes at a price: several of its best seasons carry heavy cap hits.
