Not often do we see a seasoned domestic coach being appointed as the coach of an IPL side.
Much of Karnataka's resurgence in the past five years has been because of JAK, as he is popularly known and the methods that he has employed in building the side.
The Kings XI Punjab in recent years have fluctuated a great deal when it comes to their performances and perhaps the winning touch of Arun Kumar could be what the team will be benefit from.
Under him, Karnataka won the Ranji Trophy on two consecutive occasions in 2015 and if he can help the Kings XI punch above their weights and play a decisive role in them winning their maiden title, then we would have surely seen a real fairytale this year.
