With the likes of power hitters in Liam Livingstone, Odean Smith, Jonny Bairstow (yet to play for the franchise), and Shahrukh Khan to name a few, the Kings did put on display the same during their first game of the season against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), wherein they chased down the target of 205/2 posted by the latter with six deliveries to spare.

With the franchise set to give it their all to clinch their maiden IPL title, let’s take a look at the owners of the Punjab-based franchise who have laid the foundation stone with its acquisition in the year 2008.
