Kings XI Punjab; renamed

 

Kings XI Punjab, a franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL), has decided to change its name next season. 

From the 14th season, the new name of Kings XI Punjab will be 'Punjab Kings'. The team has also sought permission from the BCCI and the IPL's regulatory body.

However, no official from Punjab has given a testimony for the name change. According to media reports, the franchise is planning to relaunch the team before the auction starts on February 18.

The team will also go by the name of Punjab Kings. The new season of the competition will start from the second week of April. The action will start from February 18 (tomorrow).

Mohit Burman, Ness Wadia, Pretty Zinta and Karan Paul's Punjab has been a team that has been performing poorly for the last few years. In the last 13 years, the team has been runner-up once and third once.

Last season the team was in sixth place. Last season, KL Rahul captained the team for the first time and Anil Kumble coached the team. This time too, two people will lead the team.
