PBKS will definitely go for Rishabh Pant in the auction because he is a class player and a match-winner. We have seen him winning matches in crunch situations, and he has the capability to manage the team as well. Hence, PBKS will target him first in the auction. Pant is a reliable batter and has played some crazy knocks in the previous years. Taking him in the team will benefit them a lot since Pant will be available for a long time now. 

2. Steve Smith
