IPL 2020: Ranking the captains of all 8 IPL teams in this season

#6 Dinesh Karthik – Kolkata Knight Riders

Dinesh Karthik

At the IPL auction 2018, Dinesh Karthik was picked by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and was later appointed as their captain of the side. Playing for KKR for the very first time, Karthik did a decent job in making his team reach the play-offs stage. However, the Purple Army couldn’t proceed ahead after losing in the Eliminator against SRH.

Even in IPL 2019, Dinesh was impressive as a leader despite being criticised by a few of his teammates for being pushed lower in the batting order.

KKR missed the play-offs scenario and finished fifth in the points table. With a win percentage nearing 50, Karthik will hope to lead his franchise by example and bring another trophy home after 2014.

Matches captained: 36 Won: 17 Lost: 18 Win %: 48.61

#5 Shreyas Iyer – Delhi Capitals

Shreyas Iyer

The young skipper for Delhi Capitals (DC), Shreyas Iyer was handed the captaincy duties mid-way through the season in IPL 2018. The franchise couldn’t impress much of their fans after finishing last in the points table.

However, IPL 2019 arrived with a lot of hope for the Delhi fans with Iyer taking the charge for the entire season. With the presence of some senior players, it made life easy for Iyer who was made to look extraordinary by his players.

Batting at No.4, he was among the runs and displayed his skills as a shrewd leader even on the field. Under his leadership, DC finished third after losing out against CSK in Qualifiers. In IPL 2020, Iyer will hope to lead the side to glory and win their maiden title.

Matches captained: 24 Won: 13 Lost: 10 Win %: 56.25
