The runners-up from the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Punjab Kings (PBKS), who lost the final under Shreyas Iyer’s leadership against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), have extended their helping hand to donate a huge amount to the relief fund for the flood-hit Punjab. In decades, it’s the worst flood for the state.
The Punjab Kings have donated INR 33.8 lakh in relief funds. As per the present data received by the government of the state, the calamity has claimed 37 lives and affected over 3.5 lakh people. As of now, 23 districts have been declared flood-affected.
In a tragic situation, Punjab has come forward to help the state by partnering with the Hemkunt Foundation and Round Table India for their ‘Together for Punjab’ campaign. On their X account (formerly known as Twitter), the 2014 runners-up of the IPL have announced their support for the flood-affected Punjab. It will be a great support for the people living in the state.

Apart from the donation, the franchise has also launched a fundraising campaign to raise INR 2 crore. This money will be collected and donated to the Global Sikh Charity, which will use the aid to further assist the effort of rebuilding the state. More than a thousand villages have been affected, and nearly 61000 hectares of farmland have been submerged, displacing 1.46 million residents.
The floods, driven by the Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi Rivers, were triggered by the immense rainfall in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. The rescue operations are already going on, with 11000 people evacuated to safe areas, with the assistance of the Army, NDRF, BSF, and local authorities.
Punjab Kings ended the group-stage encounters at the top of the points table, having earned nine victories in 14 games at a net run rate of +0.372. They faced only four defeats at a net run rate of +0.372. Under Iyer, their batting looked solid, while the head coach, Ricky Ponting, and his management were excellent in understanding the strength of the side and working around that playing eleven.
