NEW DELHI: Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer and batter Marcus Stoinis have joined the squad on Monday ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, commencing on March 22.
Punjab Kings posted the update on their social media handles and welcomed the duo home in style. Sharing the video of Iyer’s arrival, the franchise wrote, “F-IYER checked in!” In another post, PBKS shared a phot of Stoinis with a caption, “He’s arrived to make his Marc #SherSquad, ready for Hulk smash in #IPL2025?”
Iyer was appointed as the captain of Punjab in January after being bought for a staggering sum of Rs 26.75 crore in last year’s mega auction in Jeddah. He led the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to the title in the last edition of the cash-rich tournament.
On the other hand, Australian all-rounder Stoinis joined the Punjab Kings for Rs 11 crore alongside his countrymate Glenn Maxwell (Rs 4.20 crore), Josh Inglis (Rs 2.60 crore), Aaron Hardie (Rs 1.25 crore) and Xavier Bartlett (Rs 80 lakh). IANS
