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

2017: Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell captained KXIP in 2017 season

The swashbuckling batsman Glenn Maxwell was the 10th captain and the fourth Australian to lead KXIP.

He is one among the select few captains to lead the side for a full season. He had an average run as a skipper though, as KXIP won seven out of 14 matches under his captaincy and finished fifth in the points table.

One of the reasons for KXIP's failure was the poor form of Maxwell and David Miller. Even though Maxwell crossed 40 on five occasions, he couldn't convert any of them to a fifty.

Miller, on the other hand, only played five matches and scored 83 runs at an average of 27.66 and a meager strike-rate of 103.75.

The Big Show will play for Delhi Daredevils in the 2018 season and Ashwin will captain KXIP in his place. Will the new skipper lead Kings XI Punjab to their maiden IPL title? We will have to wait and watch.
