The Punjab Kings (formerly Kings XI Punjab) have unveiled their new jersey ahead of the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The side had earlier went for a complete makeover for the tournament as they changed their team name and also unveiled a new logo. In that vein, the new jersey is also quite a bit different from last year’s one although the same base colors have been maintained.

Punjab Kings had a topsy-turvy IPL season last year. They got off to a horror start to the season as they couldn’t find a way to win games. However, a turnaround was sparked by Chris Gayle‘s return to the playing XI and some stupendous form shown by captain KL Rahul that brought the side to the brink of a playoff appearance. However, a loss in their final match to Chennai Super Kings meant they missed out on the same.
