Kings XI Punjab was the first team to depart for the UAE for the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League. Despite a good start in the premier league, the team is seen struggling towards the end. The franchise was formed during IPL’s first edition in 2008 and has played in every season, since then. 

It’s jointly owned by KPH Dream Cricket Private Limited. The team plays its home matches at IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali, Punjab.

In 2014, it reached the finals but lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). In 2008, it reached the play-offs but lost to the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the semi-final.

As in the previous edition, the team will be led by KL Rahul. Anil Kumble is the head coach; Wasim Jaffer, Jonty Rhodes and Charl Langeveldt are the batting, fielding and bowling coach, respectively.
