Another Sri Lankan captain who failed at the helm in the IPL. Just like his compatriot, Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara failed to produce the goods as a captain in the IPL. Captaining Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2009, he managed only seven wins from 14 games and failed to take them to the playoffs.

He captained Deccan Chargers in 2012. The team finished second from bottom and only managed 4 wins from 16 games. He then captained Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2013 but was replaced by Cameron White midway through the tournament. He has the worst captaincy record in the IPL for a captain with at least 20 games.
