Kings XI Punjab
Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) is an Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise based in Mohali and plays its home matches at PCA IS Bindra Stadium. Since the IPL 2010, the team has been playing some of its home games at Dharamsala and Indore as well. The franchise was founded in 2008 and is owned by Preity Zinta, Wadia Group and Dabur. They reached the semifinals in the inaugural season of IPL, while finished runners-up in 2014. However, the team failed to make any mark in the rest of the IPL editions barring IPL 2019 where it almost made it to the playoffs.
Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) entered the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 auction with the deepest pockets among the eight IPL teams — an available purse Rs 42.7 crore. This allowed the Chandigarh-based franchise to bid heavily for its picks.
Australian batsman Glenn Maxwell was the costliest buy for KXIP in the IPL 2020 auction, at Rs 10.75 crore, while its second-costliest purchase was West Indies fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell, renowned for his salute celebration, at Rs 8.50 crore.
Kings XI Punjab, under the captaincy of KL Rahul, will look to revive its fortunes with a good combination of youngsters and experienced players like Mayank Agarwal and Chris Gayle.
The franchise has also made changes in its support staffs, bringing in former Anil Kumble as Director Of Cricket Operations and Andy Flower as Assistant Coach.
