India cricketer R Ashwin will lead Kings XI Punjab in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League. This year, however, the former champions didn’t even step in the bidding war as Kings XI swooped Ashwin for Rs.7.6 crore after brushing off Rajasthan Royals. In 10 seasons, Kings XI Punjab are the only franchise besides Delhi Daredevils to have played every single edition without lifting the coveted trophy. As I told you, it’s important that we play an impressive brand of cricket,” Ashwin further added. He’s led Kings XI Punjab before and will be the first person I go to if I need any sort of advice on the field.”
