Preity Zinta: A mega auction is going to be held before IPL 2025 and this time Punjab Kings owner Preity Zinta would like to strengthen her team. Punjab is among those teams which have not won a single IPL title so far.

In such a situation, Zinta would like to form a strong team and enter the field by releasing many big players this time. In this sequence, she can also release veterans like Shikhar Dhawan and fast bowler Kagiso Rabada.

Shikhar Dhawan, Kagiso Rabada and Arshdeep Singh may be released

If we talk about Shikhar Dhawan, he has announced his retirement from cricket. In such a situation, there is very little hope that this great player will be seen playing in the IPL now. In such a situation, Preity Zinta can release him.

So bowlers like Rabada and Arshdeep can also be released. Actually, this mega auction is going to happen and in such a situation many big players will be in the auction. Keeping this in mind, Zinta can release these players to increase her purse.

This player can be made captain

Actually, if we talk about the Punjab team, Shikhar Dhawan was captaining this team till last season. However, due to injury, he could not play in the playing eleven. In such a situation, star all-rounder Sam Curran captained the team in his place.

Karan also performed well with the bat in this tournament and he has also taken a hat-trick for Punjab before this.

In such a situation, Preity Zinta can retain him and he can also be seen captaining the team.

These 8 flop players will also be released

Let us tell you that during IPL 2024, both Punjab's batting and bowling looked weak. In such a situation, they can show the way out to Riley Russo, the player who spent more than 8 crores last season. Russo did not perform well in the last season.

Apart from him, Liam Livingstone's name is also included in this and Preity Zinta can show him the way out.

This list includes the names of Prabhsimran Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Johnny Bairstow, Rahul Chahar, Nathan Ellis and Sikandar Raza. All these players can be released before the auction.
