Kings XI Punjab are looking forward to break their losing streak when they take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match today.

Skipper Kumar Sangakkara said yesterday that the team will fight for a win.

"Bangalore is a formidable side but they were beaten by Super Kings in the last game. Bangalore is beatable, we know that," said Sangakkara at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium.

Punjab are lying at the bottom with one win from six matches.

"I read various stories about replacement of captaincy, Indian players, international players and coaches.

We always see that most of the stories come out when the team is losing and very few things come when team is winning," he said.

"There is absolutely no such thing, no rift between the players. There is no anger or criticism. Both domestic and international players are working well together and that is the way cricket is.

There stories are bound to happen but we are only concentrating on supporting each other and making sure that we win."

Sangakara said that he was sure that Yuvraj Singh will bounce back.

"Take any player; in some season he is in form and in some he is out of form. Yuvi's preparations for the IPL were also hampered by the injury.

Everyone knows Yuvraj is the best T20 batsman in the world. Sometimes we have big expectations when we have player of that stature. But the team's performance does not depend on a single player," he said.
