The Punjab Kings is the name of an IPL franchise cricket team that is based in Mohali, Punjab. Now let’s talk a little about the team’s history.

Punjab Kings started as a team with the introduction of the Indian Premier League itself, which happened in the year 2008.

Even though it was one of the more popular teams, the franchise’s journey has not been a smooth one. In 2010, due to a controversy between BCCI and Lalit Modi, two teams namely Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals were expelled from the cricket tournament. After trying to negotiate their expulsion from the league with the authorities of IPL, the franchise turned to the High Court when no one listened to their complaint. The High Court took a decision in the team’s favor and Kings XI Punjab was restored as a team in IPL.
