Two-time Indian Premier League (IPL) runners-up Punjab Kings have commenced a five-day off-season training camp at the New International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh, with an aim to hone individual player skills ahead of the 2027 season of the ten-team tournament.
The camp, which started on August 11, is focused purely on skill development, providing players dedicated time to work on specific aspects of their game away from match-day pressure. In IPL 2026, with six wins and one no result, Shreyas Iyer-led PBKS stayed unbeaten in their first seven matches before losing their next six games. This initial stint is the first in a series of off-season camps planned by the franchise management to keep the squad sharp and game-ready well in advance. More camps targeting different sets of players, with a dual focus on skill fine-tuning and fitness conditioning, will be rolled out over the coming months as the franchise looks to build a strong foundation for the next IPL season. Despite winning their final league game over Lucknow Super Giants, PBKS missed out on a playoff spot and finished in fifth place in the points table.
