The IPL 2021 is going to be held in April and the Punjab franchise has made a big change this year in an attempt to change their fortunes. The Punjab franchise which will be led by KL Rahul has changed its name from Kings XI Punjab to Punjab Kings. The skipper took to Twitter and shared with his fans and followers the reason behind the name change.

KL Rahul said that though he liked the name Kings XI but a team is lot more than the 11 players, it is like a whole unit, it is supposed to be a family. He adds that he is pretty confident the change in name will certainly improve their luck as well.
