IPL 8: Condom ad on jersey makes cricketers blush
Mumbai: Although they are yet to win the Indian Premier League, the Kings XI Punjab continue to be one of the most followed teams in the BCCI-backed T20 league.
The George Bailey-led unit reached the finals of the previous edition of the tournament and with the likes of Glenn Maxwell, David Miller, Mitchell Johnson and Virender Sehwag in the mix, it gives their fans a reason to believe that the team can win the coveted IPL trophy for the first time.
While KXIP have quite a few big names in their roaster of sponsors, a new addition has raised quite a few eyebrows.

According to a report in Hindustan Times, the Manforce logo on KXIP jersey did leave quite a few players blushing. According to Mohit Burman, a co-owner of the team, “Manforce will figure on the back of the jerseys along with our other main sponsor Tata Prime,” added the report.
Incidently, former adult actress and now Bolloywood star, Sunny Leone also endorses the same brand which will feature on a jersey of the Kings XI Punjab.
