Kings XI Punjab went into the auctions having retained just one player in Axar Patel which means they had a big purse to walk into the auctions with. Kings XI Punjab has made some spectacular purchases and they have got themselves a really good batting side.
The Kings XI Punjab have got themselves a great batting line-up or rather a pretty handsome one in terms of T20 reputes that these purchases by Kings XI Punjab hold.
Aaron Finch, KL Rahul, Yuvraj Singh, Manoj Tiwary, Karun Nair, Chris Gayle, David Miler, Marcus Stoinis and Mayank Aggarwal. Doesn’t this look like an affluent batting line up? This forms a perfect combination of international T20 sensations along with some really talented Indian players. But the question is, who would lead the Kings XI Punjab?
THESE ARE THE PROSPECTS OF CAPTAINCY FOR THE KINGS XI PUNJAB
- Yuvraj Singh
Yuvraj Singh is an experienced campaigner and has been the captain of the Kings XI Punjab earlier as well. He seems the premier choice for being the captain.
2. Ravichandran Ashwin
It was a surprise when Ashwin was bought by the Kings XI Punjab despite him wanting to go to Chennai Super Kings. But Punjab would only be happy to have a champion bowler on their team. Ashwin too forms a great prospect for captaincy given his ample experience and calm attitude.

3. Aaron Finch
Finch also has great experience of having played the shortest format of the game. He has also been a captain for the Aussies at times and he is a great player. He too can be one of the prospects of the leader Kings XI Punjab will be searching for.
4. Chris Gayle
The beast went unsold on day 1 but he went to the Kings XI Punjab on day 2. Chris Gayle has a decent captaincy experience having led the West Indies in the past. Gayle can be a good option too.
So, the Kings XI Punjab have some really good options to choose from with Yuvi being the premier choice. Let us know as to who according to you should lead the Kings XI Punjab in the IPL 2018.
