At the same time, Delhi is the only team that could not play the final till now. However, Delhi reached the semi-finals in the tournament's opening two seasons (2008, 2009).
Gayle, Rahul and Maxwell have important responsibility in Punjab
This time in the Punjab team, along with new captain Lokesh Rahul, the most experienced veteran Chris Gayle of the West Indies and Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell will have the responsibility on their shoulders.
