Punjab Kings are one of the original eight franchises that played the first-ever season in the Indian Premier League. Established as Kings XI Punjab in 2008, the franchise changed its identity ahead of the 14th edition of the marquee league in 2021.
Punjab Kings are based in Mohali and enjoy a massive and loyal fanbase. However, the team hasn’t been able to perform as per the expectations across the 15 editions of the IPL. The Kings from Punjab are yet to win the IPL championship.
The franchise began its journey under the leadership of India’s biggest T20 superstar Yuvraj Singh. Over the years, players like Adam Gilchrist, Kumar Sangakkara, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, David Miller, and KL Rahul have represented the team.
