One of India’s greatest limited-overs all-rounders, Yuvraj Singh, led the Kings XI Punjab in the inaugural edition of the IPL. Despite a slow start, the team made it through to the semifinals and Australian batter Shaun Marsh emerged as a terrific match-winner for them with the bat. In IPL 2009, KXIP narrowly missed a berth in the knockouts after a...
The charismatic Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakarra took over the leadership of KXIP in IPL 2010. However, the franchise had a disastrous outing as they languished at the bottom of the point table. Sangakarra led KXIP in 13 matches overall, but the team won only on 3 occasions.
Another major figure in Sri Lankan cricket, Mahela Jayawardene, was Sangakkara’s deputy and led the team only once in IPL 2010. KXIP, however, lost that match. Also Read: Top 5 Oldest Players To Score A IPL Century
As a result of a disappointing campaign in 2010, the team management roped in Australian wicket-keeper batter Adam Gilchrist as their skipper. The Aussie master went on to be the longest-serving captain of the franchise, leading them in 3 IPL editions. KXIP finished 5th in IPL 2011 and 6th in IPL 2012, and IPL 2013. Under Gilchrist, the team won 17...
In the absence of regular captain Gilchrist, Aussie all-rounder David Hussey stepped in the boots of the KXIP skipper. He led the side in 12 games, in which the team won on 6 occasions.
George Bailey is, beyond doubt, one of the most underrated captains of his generation. In 2014, Bailey and his troops looked invincible in the UAE leg of the tournament. Glenn Maxwell-David Miller went all guns blazing, and KXIP was touted to be the strongest contenders for the title that season. Bailey led the team in IPL 2015 as well, but the mag...

The Proteas power-hitter used to be one of the biggest superstars of the franchise and remains the third-highest run-getter for them. He was promoted to captaincy ahead of IPL 2016, but under him, the team fared poorly. In 6 games, KXIP won only 1 match. Miller struggled both with the bat and as a captain and therefore was replaced mid-season.
The miserable start in IPL 2016 forced the team management to change the guard. Opener Murali Vijay donned the hat of captaincy for the remainder of the season. However, the Tamil Nadu cricketer could only bring a few changes to the team, and KXIP won 3 games out of 8 and once again ended their campaign at the bottom of the points table.
The franchise’s star player, Glenn Maxwell, took over the reins of the struggling team in IPL 2017. The Big Show handled the burden of leadership reasonably well compared to his predecessors. KXIP, however, finished 5th in the league. Captain Maxwell ended the season with a win percentage of 50% with 7 victories in 14 clashes. Also Read: Shaquille ...
