IPL 2019: 3 teams who could change their captains

#2 Kings XI Punjab

Assigning captaincy to KL Rahul might help KXIP settle down

It is going to be a tough call for Kings XI Punjab to withdraw captaincy from a newly appointed skipper, but who knows what might just turn out well for them. Ravichandran Ashwin is known for the use of his cricketing mind, which was the prime reason to award him the leadership. But as the things happened, it appeared like the 32-year-old overdid a few tasks, be it team combinations or bowling changes.

Going by his performance, it didn't even look like he deserved a spot in the playing XI and the assigned role only kept him around. Even after getting a flying start to the season, the Lions ended up at the bottom.

The Punjab based franchise might lay their money on KL Rahul, a young, fairly experienced, flashy opening batsman, and has years of cricket ahead of him who could be a long-term investment for his team. They have been changing captains quite frequently and KL Rahul might be the right choice.
