IPL 2021: Punjab Kings ropes in Asian Footwears as Official footwear partner

Punjab Kings (PBKS) has roped in Asian Footwears as their official footwear partner for the ongoing 14th season of the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL).

Taking to twitter, the franchise shared a post with the caption: “We are pleased to announce that we’ve teamed up with @Asianfootwears as our official footwear partner!”

The footwear company also retweeted the Punjab-based franchise’s post saying: “Proud to announce that Asian Footwears is the official footwear partner for @PunjabKingsIPL!”

Significantly, Punjab Kings registered a winning start to their IPL 2021 campaign as they pipped Rajasthan Royals (RR) by four runs on Monday in Mumbai.

For Punjab, the 14th edition will be their first season with the new franchise name — Punjab Kings, which was earlier known as Knings XI Punjab.

The decision to rename the franchise and the Punjab Kings new logo was taken a day prior to the IPL 2021 mini-auction in February 2021.

In the previous season of the cash-rich league, which took place in UAE, was a season to forget for the Punjab-based franchise as they had once again failed to qualify for the playoffs.

The KL Rahul-led side had managed to win just six of their 14 matches.

Before the IPL 2021 mini-auction, the Punjab-based franchise had retained 16 cricketers, which include the likes of skipper KL Rahul, Chris Gayle, Mohammad Shami, Mayank Agarwal, Nicholas Pooran among others.

In the recently held auction, the franchise signed Australian cricketers like Moises Henriques, Jhye Richardson and the World No.1 T20I batsman Dawid Malan.
