IPL Key Squad Moves Worth Watching

Several blockbuster transfers reshape the competition this season. Sanju Samson moves from Rajasthan Royals to Chennai Super Kings. Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran both land at Rajasthan Royals from CSK. Mohammed Shami joins Lucknow Super Giants from SRH, while Shardul Thakur heads to Mumbai Indians from LSG.

The Indian Premier League, now in its 19th edition, continues to be the world’s richest and most-watched T20 cricket competition — and with defending champions RCB confirmed to return to Chinnaswamy, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

One team standing out for sheer preparation intensity is Punjab Kings, who held a fitness camp in January, a high-performance camp in Abu Dhabi in February, and will now begin a full squad camp in Mullanpur from March 15. If effort before the season counts, PBKS mean business this year.
