IPL 2016: Captain’s analysis

5. David Miller/Murali Vijay – Kings XI Punjab:

Kings XI Punjab was led by two skippers this season. South African David Miller started the IPL 2016 as the first skipper of the side before losing his captaincy to Murali Vijay. Miller had a terrible time leading the team and failed to marshal his troops. Poor batting performance was one major reason why the team failed miserably. He led his side in 6 matches and could win only one while losing five matches. With a hope of some turnaround, KXIP decided to relieve Miller off the captaincy role and handed it over to Murali Vijay. Vijay also could not bring any drastic change in Punjab’s fortunes. He led the side in 8 games, winning just three out of it. KXIP did comparatively better under him. But, even his efforts were not enough to avoid a last place finish for the Punjab side.
