| Nah, they could surely have chosen a better name for their team. I see the lions on either side of their logo ;why didn't they go for "Lions of Punjab" or maybe something more creative like Mohali musketeers or Punjabi Raiders or maybe just Desperados. Didn't think that Preity Zintha of all would be so unimaginative. I don't like their name , but I can't say the same about the team! They have Bret Lee , one of my all time favorites! |

| this team is too good but still i too feel that the team name is very very common it should be something which inspires not only the players but also all the punjabis. |

This is one of team where you will find perfect combination ... good batting line up (Yuvraj, Sangakara, Jaywardene) they all are hard hitters ... good pace attack ... (Lee, Irfan and Sreesanth) and good spinners as well ... (Powar, Chawala) ... so I am sure this team will leave their mark ...
My favourite is Knight Riders ... lets see |

Match of this team really pays back your ticket value ... after six sixes in six balls yuvi is already in demand ... and when he is captain of this side then just wait and watch.
Lalit really judged this team in very good manner dividing each segment with their key players ... |

| Very balanced side. Watch for Katich, he just broke the record for most runs ever in one year in the Australian test competition, along with captaining his side to the trophy. Also, Sreesanth and Lee, that's a combination my evil side likes... |

Pretty average team.....
though it posses a good captain and a perfect coach..... tis team lacks Bat Ball ratio..... there r very less good batsmen.... and more bowlers.... i didnt understand y yuvi selected average players lik Powar, Mills, Chawla..... so bit difficult.... but can manage.... coz other teams lik deccan chargers really very weak.... |

| As everyone expected they are the force to reckon and are almost there in the semis. There is no one stopping them at the moment. It was just at the start of the tournament they lost otherwise they really played well. Especially Shaun Marsh who could not get chance in the beginning of the tournament. But the departure of players has done wonders for him. |

well nice to see support for KXP here , but i strongly feel they were more fortunate in this IPL season then they actually deserved.
They were well supported by rain against Delhi game & got some very close run out decisions against Mumbai in their favor. Had their luck not favored them , the picture would have been different. Still Shaun Marsh has proved to be the trump card for KXP |
