2. Kings XI Punjab- Glenn Maxwell
The Punjab-based franchise has thus far been led by Murali Vijay, Adam Gilchrist, Virender Sehwag, Kumar Sangakkara, Yuvraj Singh, George Bailey, Mahela Jayawardene, David Hussey, Glenn Maxwell, Ravichandran Ashwin, and David Miller
There captain from the last season, Ravichandran Ashwin, has been traded to Delhi Capitals in the auction and therefore KL Rahul will be seen donning the captain’s hat this year. The Karnataka-born right-hander has no experience of captaincy, however, he has been backed by the management, and looking at his skill set, he is expected to make a good captain.
In his absence, KXIP will not have too many options for the spot. The probable contenders could be Chris Gayle, Glenn Maxwell, and Mayank Agarwal, however considering Maxwell’s tiny experience as their skipper in the past, he will have an edge over the others. In his IPL captaincy career, Maxwell has 7 wins and as many losses in 14 matches.
