The PBKS has been one of the top franchises since the tournament, but they have been one of the few franchises who haven’t lifted the title in the tournament. The franchise has a rich history of producing some great talents and the contribution of some cricketing greats.
The team has been led by some of the cricketing greats in the 17-year-long tournament history. Under the leadership of a few captains, the team has also made it to the knockout stage of the tournament.
With that said, here we’ll have a look at the top three captains of all time for the Punjab Kings (formerly known as Kings XI Punjab).
