About Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings, previously Kings XI Punjab, represents the cricketing passion of Punjab. Playing in Mohali before passionate crowds, PBKS has produced some of IPL's most entertaining cricket.
The franchise has been home to explosive cricketers - Chris Gayle's brutal hitting, KL Rahul's elegance, and the all-round brilliance of young talents. Their matches are typically high-scoring affairs, reflecting Punjab's aggressive cricketing culture.
Despite not winning a title, PBKS has provided unforgettable moments - Gayle's 175*, multiple playoff runs, and the development of numerous international cricketers. Their loyal fan base continues supporting through the ups and downs.
Owned by Preity Zinta (one of IPL's most visible owners), Ness Wadia, Mohit Burman, and Karan Paul, PBKS combines Bollywood glamour with Punjabi passion for cricket.
