Anil Kumble was appointed as the head coach of Punjab Kings in the year 2020, and Punjab Kings haven’t qualified for the playoffs even once in the last 3 years under his tenure. There were some bizarre decisions by him in his tenures, and one has to say that Punjab Kings have waited enough to move on from him.
