Kings XI Punjab IPL 2009 Prospects

Kings XI Punjab captained by Yuvraj Singh were one of the semi-finalists in the DLF-IPL 2008 tournament and won ten of their fourteen league matches, just one less than Rajasthan Royals, the eventual winners. Although a balanced side with some big names like Brett Lee, Irfan Pathan, Mahela Jayawardene, Kumara Sangakkara and James Hope, Kings XI Punjab somehow lacked the firepower to deliver the knock out punch when most required in last year’s IPL.

The team was bought for $76 million by Bollywood actor Priety Zinta and businessman Ness Wadia and what a good investment the Kings XI Punjab turned out to be. The team has also been devoid of controversy and has remained in the shadows as compared to other IPL teams.

Kings XI Punjab’s start to IPL 2 was lacklustre as they were trounced by Delhi Daredevils in their opening fixture. This year the IPL team has added Goan batsman Ravi Bopara to their arsenal to capture the elusive IPL title.
