#6 KXIP – Steve Waugh

Kings XI Punjab have tried everything they could, but has made only two playoffs in eleven seasons. They have tried all possible combinations but nothing seemed to go right for them. The only exception was the 2014 season when the team were the table toppers and finished the league as the runners-up. The problem with the team was the captaincy.
From Yuvraj Singh to R Ashwin, there has been constant change in guard. There have been instances when two players had captained the team in the same season (2016). Under Ashwin’s captaincy, the team managed to win six matches in 2018.
Steve Waugh would be the right choice to solve the captaincy issue. He was capable of leading from the front with exemplary batting performances. It’s because of his leadership qualities, he is still considered to be the most successful captain in the longer format with a 72% winning ratio.
