Former India leg-spinner Anil Kumble has been appointed the head coach of the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kings XI Punjab for the 2020 edition. The appointment makes Kumble the only Indian coach in the IPL, ESPNcricinfo reported on Friday. Following Sanjay Bangar's exit in 2016, Virender Sehwag took over as the head of cricket operations in 2017. He relinquished the post at the end of that season, after which Brad Hodge took over as the head coach in 2018, while Mike Hesson fulfilled that role this year. Kings Xi Punjab finished at the sixth spot in the points table in the 12th edition of the IPL.
