Though Punjab Kings succeeded in getting attacking batsman Shreyas Iyer for Rs 26.75 crore during tbhe IPL auction in Jeddah, star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant was also on their wish list, revealed the team’s performance analyst Saurabh Walkar.     

“We wanted to go for either Shreyas or Rishabh because both are marquee players and captaincy candidates. We thought that if we gave up on Shreyas and if Rishabh goes out of our budget then we might lose out on Rishabh also,” Walkar told mid-day.com from Jeddah on Tuesday.
