IPL 2026 Mini Auction: Top 3 players Punjab Kings should target for in the upcoming mini auction

2. Devon Conway

Devon Conway is a reliable left-hand opening batter who can give a promising start to the team's batting innings. But, with his recent forgettable and mediocre performances for the Chennai Super Kings, his release could be a valuable asset to the other teams. One such team is the Punjab Kings, which can have a relaxing time at the forthcoming auction. The Kiwi batter can make the already-strong Punjab Kings batting even stronger.

Also, with Priyansh Arya being a budding left-hand prodigy, Conway can enhance the variety of the batting order and give the right guidance to the emerging unit. In just 29 matches, he has made a colossal 1080 runs at a commendable average of 43.20, making him one of the attractive bids in the 2026 IPL Auction.
