They have had a fair share of success through the years, but the fact that they have an average of just about 14 points per season shows why they do not come in the same bracket as MI, CSK, KKR or even RCB.
They have qualified for the playoffs just twice in ten seasons and the one time when they were at the top the table in 2014, they were defeated by KKR in the final.
They went all guns blazing into the auction this year and have a revamped unit that will be led by Ravichandran Ashwin. It will be interesting to see if this overhaul helps KXIP turn into a more formidable name in the IPL.
