IPL 2018: Rating the captains after league stage

Ravichandran Ashwin (Kings XI Punjab) - 5/10

After helping KXIP to five wins out of the first six encounters, Ashwin was labelled as one of the best captains of the tournament's earlier stages. However, what transpired in the latter half of the league showed how over-experimenting can affect a team's performances in the long run.

Punjab went on to lose seven of their next eight encounters and where they were once looking set to enter the playoffs, they ended up on the penultimate spot. Ashwin surely would've learned quite a few lessons with his and his team's showing in the second half of the tournament.

A five for his captaincy in the first six matches and nothing for the next eight.
