Formerly Kings XI Punjab (until 2020/21)

Every Punjab Kings record in one place — the all-time marks, the Orange and Purple Caps and Players of the Tournament, the top performers, and the biggest wins. PBKS have produced one Player of the Tournament, and 127 Player of the Match awards have gone to PBKS players.

PBKS record highs and lows from 2008 to 2026

Eight all-time records — the club's biggest win and heaviest defeat, its highest total and highest chase, the lowest it has defended and its lowest total, and the highest and lowest it has conceded.

Low-score records count only innings that ended naturally — bowled out, however few the overs, or the full 20 batted. An innings cut short by rain, or ended by reaching the target, is not a low score.

Season Honours

2 Orange Caps & 2 Purple Caps for PBKS

Punjab Kings' honours have come loose from the club's own season: three of the four arrived in years PBKS missed the playoffs, and none in a season that reached a final. Shaun Marsh's 2008 Orange Cap was the first awarded in IPL history. PBKS's two finals, in 2014 and 2025, came in years without a cap.
