The IPL Governing Council has decided to swap the dates of Kings XI Punjab's home matches with the first three games being held in Mohali (in April) and the last four games in Indore (in May) owing to some logistical issues.

As per the revised itinerary, KXIP will play in Mohali on (April 15, 19 and 23) instead of Indore. However, Indore will benefit from the arrangement as they now have four matches in their kitty (May 4, 6, 12 and 14).

The swap has been made since the Chandigarh airport is expected to remain closed from May 12-31 owing to renovation work. "There were logistical difficulties that teams would have encountered had KXIP played their home games in Mohali in May. Therefore the IPL GC has decided that the dates will be swapped and Indore will now host all their matches in May," acting president CK Khanna said.

In the past 10 seasons of Indian Primer League, Kings XI Punjab have managed to reach final just once  in 2014 when they were beaten by Kolkata Knight Riders. Here is the complete squad of Kings XI Punjab.

Kings XI Punjab- Axar Patel, KL Rahul, Ravichandran Ashwin (skipper), Andrew Tye, Aaron Finch, Marcus Stoinis, Karun Nair, Mujeeb Zadran, Ankit Singh Rajpoot, David Miller, Mohit Sharma, Barinder Singh Sran, Yuvraj Singh, Christopher Gayle, Ben Dwarshuis, Akshdeep Nath, Manoj Tiwary, Mayank Agarwal, Manzoor Dar, Pardeep Sahu, Mayank Dagar.
