Sehwag had become KXIP's mentor in 2016 after being a player for two seasons.
New Delhi: Virender Sehwag on Saturday declared that he would not be associated with the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kings XI Punjab. He had mentored the team in the previous three seasons.
Sehwag's future at KXIP became unclear after the team appointed former New Zealand coach Mike Hesson on a two-year contract earlier this week, replacing Australian Brad Hodge.
All good things must come to an end and I've had a wonderful time at Kings 11 Punjab, for 2 seasons as a player and 3 as a mentor. My association with Kings 11 comes to an end and I am thankful for the time I have had here and wish the team all the very best for the times ahead.
