Punjab have been one of the worst performing sides in the tournament. They made it to the final only once. That was in 2014 when they went down to Gautam Gambhir-led KKR. They are also the only franchise who have had maximum number of captains. Yuvraj Singh was the first Punjab captain. At that time, PBKS used to be called Kings XI Punjab. The name changed, the destiny remained the same. Every year, almost every year PBKS change their captain but place in the final evades them. In the last 5 years, Punjab has seen three captains already. R Ashwin became captain in 2018. But after two failed seasons, KL Rahul was handed over the captaincy. He too failed in two consective seasons to take the team to a title. Mayank Agarwal was named as captain in IPL 2022 but victories were still hard to come by. 

Shikhar Dhawan, the veteran India opener, has now replaced Mayank Agarwal who is no more part of the Punjab camp. Let's see how he does in the upcoming season.
