#8 Ravichandran Ashwin (Kings XI Punjab)

Ashwin will have the chance to showcase his captaincy skills

Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) look one of the strongest teams on paper but the million dollar question was who exactly would lead this side?

It was after several detailed discussions that KXIP announced Ashwin as their captain for IPL 2018. Before the official announcement, Yuvraj Singh, Axar Patel, Chris Gayle, Ravichandran Ashwin and Aaron Finch were the candidates for this role.

Ashwin has some captaincy experience as he has led Tamil Nadu in First-Class cricket. He has also captained Dindigul Dragons in the TNPL. Along with his captaincy experience, his shrewd thinking will also come in handy.
