In their run to the final, PBKS looked assured at the top of the order with Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Josh Inglis, Shreyas Iyer, Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh and Marcus Stoinis making up the top-seven.

But following the auction, Shreyas Iyer appeared to have hinted that Connolly would fit perfectly as a finisher for the franchise. On his part, Connolly admitted he was open to batting anywhere.
