Shreyas Iyer led Punjab Kings to a runners-up finish last season and will aim to go one step further this time. Despite his consistency, including 604 runs at a strike rate above 175, Iyer remains out of India’s T20I plans, having last played in December 2023. He was overlooked for major tournaments despite strong returns and a brief recall as a replacement. As captain, Iyer continues to lead from the front, anchoring Punjab’s ambitions. With a powerful Indian core at their disposal, PBKS will once again rely on their explosive batting unit to mount a serious title challenge.PBKS' full squad for IPL 2026: Shreyas Iyer (c), Nehal Wadhera, Vishnu Vinod, Harnoor Pannu, Pyla Avinash, Prabhsimran Singh, Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Harprett Brar, Marco Jansen, Azmatullah Omarzai, Priyansh Arya, Musheer Khan, Suryansh Shedge, Mitch Owen, Cooper Connolly, Ben Dwarshuis, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Vyshak Vijaykumar, Yash Thakur, Xavier Bartlett, Pravin Dubey and Vishal Nishad.
