The Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) on Sunday announced the schedule for the impending 13th season of the Indian Premier League and Kings XI Punjab will begin their IPL 2020 campaign against Delhi Capitals in Dubai on the fifth day of the tournament. IPL 2020 will begin on September 19 in Abu Dhabi with the opener being a repeat of the IPL 2019 final - defending champions Mumbai Indians will face MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings. 

KXIP will play nine matches in Dubai, three in Sharjah, and two in Abu Dhabi. The Punjab-based franchise will also play most of their matches in the evening slot with only two to begin at 3:30 PM IST. 

Earlier, the franchise had let go of their captain Ravichandran Ashwin who joined Delhi Capitals. KL Rahul will be the new skipper for the team. In the auction, they bolstered their bowling department with the addition of Sheldon Cottrell, Chris Jordan and Ishan Porel for a total of 11.7 crore. Meanwhile, Ashwin's departure was also addressed by getting Jagadeesha Suchith, Krishnappa Gowtham via trade. But their most important addition was the return of Glenn Maxwell who was roped in for INR 10.75 crore.

Before the auction, KXIP also appointed former India captain and coach Anil Kumble as the Director of Cricket Operations and Head Coach of Kings XI Punjab. He replaced New Zealand's Mike Hesson as the coach.

In IPL 2019, Punjab finished at the sixth spot after registering six wins and ending with 12 points at the end of the league stage.
