The two retained players were Shashank Singh (₹5.5 crore) and Prabhsimran Singh (₹4 crore). The team decided not to retain some key players who performed for the team over the years. One such name was Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh, who has been in terrific form in the shortest format of the game.

The team made a U-Turn at the auction table, took out the Right to Match (RTM) card for Arshdeep, and shelled out ₹18 crore for this move. Punjab Kings shelled out ₹26.75 crore for Shreyas Iyer, making him the second-most expensive player in the history of the Indian Premier League.

Yuzvendra Chahal (₹18 crore) and Marcus Stoinis (₹11 crore) were two notable buys made by the franchise. They also bought Glenn Maxwell for ₹4.2 crore. Maxwell was a part of the franchise from 2014 to 2020 and played 70 matches.
