IPL 2017: KXIP team profile, full squad, schedule, key players
- Quick summary: Kings XI Punjab also tends to change their captain every year.
- This year they have announced Glenn Maxwell as their new skipper.
Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) has been one of the most controversial sides of the Indian Premier League (IPL). They finished at the bottom of the points table in IPL 2016 as they could manage only four wins in the entire season. They have a good mix of talents in their rank this year. Therefore, it will be interesting to see whether they can revive themselves in IPL 2017.
Â
Kings XI Punjab also tends to change their captain every year. This year they have announced Glenn Maxwell as their new skipper. Despite having the likes of Darren Sammy and Eoin Morgan in their squad, it will be interesting to see how Maxwell fairs in the IPL 2017 as their skipper.
Â
Meanwhile, KXIP has a lot of foreign players who are too good to be left out of the playing XI. Morgan, Sammy, Shaun Marsh, Martin Guptill, Hashim Amla, Marcus Stoinis, Matt Henry, David Miller and Maxwell himself, form their overseas recruit bank. Unfortunately, they can only pick four out of this outstanding pool of talents.
