Meanwhile anil Kumble, India's leading wicket-taker in Tests, was appointed as coach after the franchise's board meeting on Thursday. Kumble will thus become the only Indian head coach in IPL 2020.

Previously anil Kumble had been the chief mentor of mumbai Indians and was appointed in the role in 2013 and the MI went on to win their maiden IPL title in that year. Furthermore Kumble had left a similar role at Royal Challengers Bangalore to join the 4-time champions in that year. Reportedly Kumble and Kohli were not even in talking terms during Champions Trophy 2017 and the legendary leg spinner did not go with the Indian team to the West Indies tour that followed the 50 over tournament in the UK and ravi Shastri succeeded anil Kumble as the head coach of india cricket in 2017.



Moreover Kumble's appointment comes at a time Kings XI is struggling to make an impact in IPL despite the presence of big names in the side. Moreover Kumble will also take a call on R Ashwin's future at Kings XI Punjab. Perhaps it was reported earlier that KXIP and delhi Capitals were in talks over trading Ashwin to the delhi based franchise.
