Kings XI Punjab’s newly-appointed captain KL Rahul said that they are eager to make this IPL season a memorable one by playing quality cricket. They will begin their campaign against Delhi Capitals at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.

"The team has been fantastic, we've been getting along great and are looking forward to playing a good brand of cricket and making this season a memorable one," Rahul said. "We're confident, we're motivated and we are really excited to be a part of this edition of the Indian Premier League."

However, KL Rahul has already shown his caliber with the bat for the past two seasons at the top of the order. He also said that it will be a challenge for them playing in the UAE in front of an empty stadium but they are ready for it as well.

"It is going to be a different experience this year, but we as a team are up to the challenge and are playing for all the fans who continue to support us," Rahul added.

Punjab, who never won the IPL title yet, are eager to go win their maiden title with a strong squad including KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Mohammad Shami and overseas players Chris Gayle, Glenn Maxwell, Sheldon Cottrell, Jimmy Neesham, Nicholas Pooran and Mujeeb Zadran.
