Like most of the teams, Kings XI Punjab also is all set for the big season of IPL 2018. The team reported to the camp a couple of days ago and yesterday, they hit the nets.
Coach Bradley Hodge, was the first one to reach Chandigarh. Yesterday, he even charted out a plan for the first training session of the team. He shared the picture of the plan on Instagram, “Tools are ready for today’s first training session for @kxipofficial. Got some serious talent to work with. Looking forward to the beginning off a wonderful chapter for this franchise.”
The official account of Kings XI Punjab, shared the pictures of the team practice. The players were seen batting and bowling in the nets.
Mohit Sharma was seen sprinting towards the finish line.
Ankit Rajpoot also was seen practicing for running between the wickets.
Coach Bradley Hodge kept an eye on each player.
Kashmiri cricketer Manzoor Pandav, was seen practicing big shots.
Skipper R Ashwin also sweated it out at the nets.
Barinder Singh Sran too had his eyes on the target and was sprinting towards the finish line.
Mayank Agarwal looked much focused while batting at the nets.
The Kings XI Punjab have not won a single title so far in 11 years and would be hoping or a turnaround in their fortunes this season of the IPL. With R Ashwin at the helm of affairs, it will be interesting to see the off-spinner use the experience of Yuvraj Singh, Aaron Finch, and Chris Gayle amongst others to team's benefit. KXIP might turn out to be the dark horse of the tournament and may surprise many if they qualify for the playoffs.
