Punjab have been the league romantic: one final, in 2014, and a long run of seasons that promised more than they delivered. The franchise rebooted hard for 2026, moving its home base to the new Mullanpur stadium and backing a fresh leadership group. Shreyas Iyer arrived as a title-winning captain and the highest-profile signing of the auction. Ricky Ponting brings a finals pedigree the dressing room has never previously had access to.
