Led by veteran India opener Shikhar Dhawan, PBKS opted to release just seven players ahead of the IPL 2024 retention deadline. The Punjab-based franchise let go of Baltej Singh, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Mohit Rathee, Raj Angad Bawa, Shahrukh Khan, Matthew Short and Gurnoor Brar ahead of the IPL 2024 auction.
Despite having a good-looking core playing XI, Punjab lacks a good bowling attack. They needed a contingent upgrade in that area. And that will be bolstered by Harshal Patel now.

Despite a strong start to the IPL 2023 campaign, Punjab Kings finished eighth in the points table, with six wins and eight losses in 14 matches. A lot was expected from the team, having secured the services of 2022 T20 World Cup’s ‘Player of the Tournament’ Sam Curran for a record bid of Rs 18.50 crore last season. PBKS went in with a purse of Rs 29.10 crore in the IPL 2024 mini-auction.
While four overseas (i.e. Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran and Nathan Ellis) almost cemented their places in the playing XI, they needed a good spin bowler. They have now added Tanay Thyagarajan as a backup spinner. They have got Harshal Patel & Rilee Rossouw now. Now they have a stronger squad to run into the upcoming season.
