#2 Kings XI Punjab – 8 captains
Kings XI Punjab have been one of the most unsuccessful teams in the IPL. For a team which changed captains eight times since its inception, stability has been a major issue. After making an impressive debut with Yuvraj Singh leading the team in their opening season, it has been a sad story for the Kings apart from a runners-up finish in the 2014 season.
Once Yuvraj stepped down after the 2009 season, a slew of captains were tried. Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Adam Gilchrist, David Hussey, George Bailey, David Miller and even Murali Vijay all captained the team at some point. Some might attribute their poor run to bad luck, but the inability to find stable leadership cannot be written off.
Their fight for a good captain to lead the franchise is still on and they have announced another new captain for this season – Glenn Maxwell. Make that nine.
