Indian Premier League(IPL) franchise Punjab Kings(PBKS) is likely to appoint Trevor Bayliss as the head coach of the side. It comes after Indian legendary bowler Anil Kumble did not renew the contract. The Punjab Kings owners weren’t satisfied with Kumble’s coaching methods as the franchise managed to win just 19 games and lost 23 games in the three seasons combined. Besides Punjab haven’t qualified for the IPL playoffs since the 2014 edition where they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in the finals.
