IPL 2018: Ranking the captains of all 8 teams 

#5 Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik

When Dinesh Karthik was named the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders ahead of the 2018 IPL, a lot of eyebrows were raised as Karthik is someone who is new to captaining a side at this level. But, he impressed everyone with his brilliant captaincy in the 2018 IPL. In spite of that, there were few things that have left the fans scratching their hairs.

His decision to bowl Vinay Kumar in the last over of the first two games, let Shubman Gill, who is best as a top-order batsman, bat at number 6 or 7, not using Shivam Mavi properly in his debut match are some of the areas where he was at fault.
