IPL 2018: 4 captaincy candidates for Kings XI Punjab

<p>
KXIP have kept changing captain after captain every season

#3 Ravichandran Ashwin

IPL 2018 culminates Ashwin's 9-year long association with CSK

Ravi Ashwin was picked by CSK in 2009 but he only played two matches that season. In the following year, Ashwin made his mark by picking up 13 wickets for his franchise. This year, Ashwin has been picked by KXIP for 7.6 crores, which culminates his 9-year long association with CSK. The amount that KXIP paid for him throws weight behind the claim that they may be considering Ashwin for captaincy.

Ashwin is no newbie when it comes to captaincy. After making his first-class debut for Tamil Nadu in December 2006, it only took the off-spinner one year to lead the side. Ashwin has also captained Dindigul Dragons in the Tamil Nadu Premier League.
