Punjab Kings has roped in ‘All Seasons Hand Rub’ as their Official Safety Partner for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
For Punjab, the 14th edition will be their first season with the new franchise name — Punjab Kings, which was earlier known as Knings XI Punjab.
The decision to rename the franchise and the Punjab Kings new logo was taken a day prior to the IPL 2021 mini-auction.
In the previous season of the cash-rich league, which took place in UAE, was a season to forget for the Punjab-based franchise as they had once again failed to qualify for the playoffs.
The KL Rahul-led side had managed to win just six of their 14 matches.
Before the IPL 2021 mini-auction, the Punjab-based franchise had retained 16 cricketers, which include the likes of skipper KL Rahul, Chris Gayle, Mohammad Shami, Mayank Agarwal, Nicholas Pooran among others.
In the recently held auction, the franchise signed Australian cricketers like Moises Henriques, Jhye Richardson and the World No.1 T20I batsman Dawid Malan.
Earlier, Punjab Kings had signed Lotus Herbals, a natural cosmetics company and one of the leading FMCG companies in India, as their principal sponsor.
