Punjab Kings (PBKS), formerly known as Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), are a franchise cricket team that competes in the Indian Premier League (IPL).3 The franchise was established in 2008 as one of the eight original teams in the inaugural IPL season.3 The team rebranded from Kings XI Punjab to Punjab Kings ahead of the 2021 season.1
Punjab Kings are owned by KPH Dream Cricket Private Limited, a consortium of four co-owners.2 Mohit Burman, vice-chairman of Dabur India, holds the largest stake at 46%.4 Bollywood actress Preity Zinta and industrialist Ness Wadia each hold 23% of the franchise.2 Karan Paul, chairman of the Apeejay Surrendra Group, owns the remaining 6% share.4
The team plays its home matches at the IS Bindra Stadium, also known as the PCA Stadium, located in Mohali, Punjab.3 The stadium is named after Inderjit Singh Bindra, a former president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).1
Punjab Kings have never won an IPL title across their history in the tournament.3 The franchise reached the IPL final twice: in 2014, where they lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders, and in 2025, where they lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru.1 Their only other playoff appearance came in the inaugural 2008 season, where they were eliminated in the semi-finals.3
The franchise has been characterized by frequent changes in captaincy and coaching staff throughout its history.3 Adam Gilchrist, the Australian wicket-keeper batsman, served as captain from 2009 to 2013, representing the longest continuous captaincy tenure in the franchise's history.1 KL Rahul captained the side from 2020 to 2022 before departing for the Lucknow Super Giants.3
Yuvraj Singh, the Indian all-rounder, was among the most prominent players to represent the franchise in its early years.1 Adam Gilchrist led the team across five consecutive seasons, combining the roles of captain and wicket-keeper.1 KL Rahul emerged as the franchise's leading run-scorer during his three seasons as captain, establishing multiple batting records for the team.1
