Sixty-five thousand people don't just show up; they choose to. Week after week, match after match, through seasons that rewarded them and seasons that didn't - Punjab Kings fans have always chosen to stand up for the Shers. That kind of loyalty doesn't ask for much in return. But this year, we hope we gave you something worth the journey.

IPL 2026 started the way we have always dreamed of: Seven games unbeaten (Six won, 1 NR). SEVEN. Along the way, the group chats were going mad, the timelines were buzzing, the cricketing world wasn't just noticing us - they were watching us with something close to concern.

Everyone bore witness to and was served great entertainment as the Sarpanch Saab and his boys rewrote the script for how a T20 cricket chase should be. Yes, they have done it before, but this year, they LEVELED UP.

Then the season shifted. Not dramatically, not all at once - just the way momentum sometimes does, quietly, before you've even noticed it. By the final weekend, we were still in it, still believing, still doing the math.

The 2026 season was indeed a rollercoaster season. It was defined by some eye-catching moments:

100% Entertainment: The Cooper Connolly Special

*****

Prabhsimran Singh presents: The Half-Century "Silsila"

*****

Breaking Voodoos & Rewriting the Script… the F-IYER way

*****

Swing, Seam, and a Century: The Arshdeep Singh Masterclass

The back end of the season was difficult, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. But this batch of talents - under the guidance of Punter, the think tanks, physios, trainers, and all the backroom staff - kept finding reasons to make everyone believe in them; to prove that BAS JEETNA HAI is not just a slogan, it is a commitment.

And the fuel to power this belief came from the universal support of the Sadda family in the stadiums, at home, and in every nook and corner of Punjab.

What do we even say! The love, support, and blessings were THAT loud that they got into the players' chests and stayed there. You, Sadda fans, showed up when we were flying and you showed up when we were fighting to stay alive, and honestly, that second one takes more out of a person than most people admit.

You are why this season means something. You always have been.

No trophy this time. But same Den. Same Lions. Same mad, beautiful, stubborn family.

Aa agli vaari. 🦁❤️
