Virender Sehwag will no longer be associated with the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kings XI Punjab. The announcement was made on Saturday. The former Indian captain was a mentor with the side for the last three years.
Sehwag’s future at KXIP became unclear after the team appointed former New Zealand coach Mike Hesson on a two-year contract earlier this week, replacing Australian Brad Hodge.
“All good things must come to an end and I’ve had a wonderful time at Kings 11 (sic) Punjab, for 2 seasons as a player and 3 as a mentor. My association with Kings 11 (sic) comes to an end and I am thankful for the time I have had here and wish the team all the very best for the times ahead,” tweeted Sehwag.
The former India opener had become KXIP’s mentor in 2016 after being a player for two seasons. KXIP have never won the IPL and their last appearance in the play-offs came in 2014, when they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in the final.
