Former Indian and Delhi Daredevils opener Virender Sehwag has parted ways with Preity Zinta’s Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kings XI Punjab.

Sehwag made the announcement that he will no longer be associated with KXIP on Saturday. Sehwag was the mentor of Punjab for the last three years.

Speculations about Sehwag’s future with the KXIP started doing the rounds of the media after the club appointed former New Zealand coach Mike Hesson on a two-year contract.

Hesson was appointed earlier this week replacing Australian Brad Hodge.

On Saturday evening, Virender Sehwag took to the micro-blogging site, Twitter, to announce his decision.

“All good things must come to an end and I’ve had a wonderful time at Kings 11 (sic) Punjab, for 2 seasons as a player and 3 as a mentor. My association with Kings 11 (sic) 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,” he wrote.
