Kings XI Punjab: Ravichandran Ashwin
Player retained: Axar Patel
Like the Daredevils, KXIP haven't had a good captain on a consistent basis. Last year, they experimented with Glenn Maxwell to disastrous effect. The team failed to qualify for the playoffs, extending their run of poor results.

Punjab's tendency to let go of big players and constantly chop and change their squad has hurt them in the past. This time too they have decided to completely overhaul the side having retained only Axar Patel.
It seems unlikely that KXIP will retain the likes of David Miller and Glenn Maxwell.
Meanwhile, with Ravi Ashwin not being retained by CSK, he could possibly head to Punjab. Ashwin is a clever bowler and reads the game well. He can also be a great captain for KXIP.
Moreover, the man from Tamil Nadu is always extremely committed to whichever team he plays for. Ashwin regularly works on his variations and can be a bright prospect to lead a disgruntled KXIP side.
