Players Likely to be Released by Punjab Kings Ahead of IPL 2024 Auctions

Producer: Amar Sunil Panicker

Sam Curran

The English all-rounder cost a whopping 18.5 crores but has not been at his best in the last season.  With the high cost, the franchise could look to release him ahead of the auctions increasing their already large budget. 

ShahRukh Khan

The pinch hitter cost the side a massive 9 crores. The high price-tag along with the lack of performances could mean his release. 

Matthew Short

The injury replacement for Jonny Bairstow cost only 20 lakhs but his lack of performances and taking up the overseas slot could mean his release from the side. 

Rishi Dhawan

The all-rounder looked to revive his career as he was bought for 55 lakhs but after failing to impress, the rebuild could well and truly be on with the side having a big budget and looking to release as many players as possible to facilitate this. 

Harpreet Brar

The local boy was bought by the franchise for 3.8 crores but has not had many performances to back himself. 

Bhanuka Rajapaksa

The Sri Lankan batter looked to fire away but has not had the best form as of late with just the one fifty in the previous season. 

Harpreet Bhatia

Bought for 40 lakhs, the batter has not had too many opportunities and with a rebuild in sight, no stones could be left unturned as the side will look to maximse the funds available.

Gurnoor Singh

The player is yet to feature for the side which means he probably has not done much to warrant a start and could be shown the door.
