IPL 2020: Rating all the teams based on their captains' performance
Skippers leading from the front!
1) KXIP- KL Rahul (9.5)
The Preity Zinta co-owned franchise, Kings XI Punjab named KL Rahul as their skipper for this season as they traded their previous skipper Ravi Ashwin to Delhi Capitals ahead of the season. KL Rahul was the franchise’s top run-getter in the previous two editions and continued his good run in the ongoing season also.
The Kings started their campaign with a heart-breaking super over loss against Delhi Capitals in their opening encounter and won their next match against RCB in which their skipper scored a magnificent century. But the franchise lost their winning formulae then and lost five straight matches thereafter. After the first half of the tournament, KXIP fell at the bottom of the points table but they bounced back in the second half with five straight wins and climbed to the 4th spot of the points table.
Their skipper KL Rahul is the highest run-getter of the tournament with 670 runs in 14 matches at an average of 55.83 and a strike rate of 129.34. KXIP after their defeat against CSK have already been eliminated.
