Looking back at Kings XI Punjab's skippers over the years

2014-2015: George Bailey and Virender Sehwag

KXIP reached to finals in 2014 under Bailey

George Bailey played his first T20I as captain for Australia in 2011, and for KXIP he achieved that feat in the year 2014.

He was a natural leader and brought the best out of Glenn Maxwell (552 runs, Avg: 34.50, SR: 187.75) and David Miller (446 runs, Avg: 44.60, SR: 149.16). As a result, the Kings XI progressed to the finals of the 2014 edition.

In the final, the Bailey-led team posted 199/4 in 20 overs, thanks to a brilliant hundred by Wriddhiman Saha (115* off 55). However, Kolkata Knight Riders chased down the target in 19.3 overs with Manish Pandey leading the charge by scoring 94 off 50 balls.

2015 was a different story altogether as the franchise finished at the bottom of the table. They only managed to win three matches. Virender Sehwag captained the side for a game against Rajasthan Royals which they went on to win in a Super Over.
