1. Shahrukh Khan
PBKS decided to release Shahrukh Khan before the retention deadline for the IPL 2024 Auction. Shahrukh had a three-season stint with the Kings, initially being purchased for INR 5.25 crores in the IPL 2021 Auction. Despite being released ahead of the IPL 2022 auction, he was later reacquired for a significant 9 crores in the mega auction. Unfortunately, Shahrukh couldn’t fulfill the expectations despite PBKS’s faith in him over the three seasons, leading to his release.
In the 33 matches that the powerful striker has played in IPL so far he has scored runs at a strike rate of 134.81.
