What is wrong with this team? Why do they perform like minnows every season? Even Delhi has looked so good in the past 2 seasons and are probably the second best team currently after MI. 
 

We love to troll RCB but even they have qualified for the top 4 many times in the past. Forget DC or RCB, even temporary franchises like RPSG and GL have qualified for the knockouts. In fact, RPSG lost the 2017 final to MI by only 1 run. 
 

I really wanted KXIP to do well this season because KL Rahul is their captain and I still believe that there is a future India captain in him. But this performance has been beyond pathetic. They have won only 1 game so far and nobody including the team itself have any idea when the next win will come and where it will come from!

You beat me to this thread. I was going to post a similar one asking whether if Punjab will ever quality for the play offs again? Since 2008, they've managed to qualify only once and that was 2014, since then they've been at the bottom half of the table all the time.

Team owners aren’t paying them to perform like crap and keep losing every season. 

 

neither they are crickters to interfere

In CSK dhoni n fleming are incharge , they are hired for a job if they wanna interfere go n coach urself. Cricket shud be left to cricketers , they dont tell you how to run business so dnt tell how to play cricket. If every nite owners ask captain n coach to change XI how will teams settle

 

I told last years also that it isnt ashwin fault its owners, same repeat ab na to hesson hai na ashwin

 

Result is to be seen every year same problem that means problem is somewere else

Any solid evidence that the owners have a lot of interference or is it just your thinking?

Everyone related to franchises have said that in indirectly, last yr joy bhattacharya said that on cricbuzz show and he has been close with cricketers

They have had a problem with every captain n coach starting from yuvraj, sanga, tom moody, sehwag, brad hodge , ashwin, hesson ....everyone

There is no incentive to NOT finish at the bottom of the table every year. Kings XI is a hopeless brand with a hopeless team which has yet to  create a dream team ( apart from 1 fluke year) to lead them to a final.

 

If BCCI want to make the league more competitive and incentivise good results they need two tiers of 6 teams each with promotion/relegation at stake, othwerise franchise owners will be happy with being mediocre. The way its going i see the team becoming defunct and the franchise moving to a different city.

Do you still have the cricbuzz article or video of Joy stating all this information? 
 

Are KXIP owners the only ones interfering in their team?

Really hope this happens. 
 

Fans want to see an evenly matched IPL where all 8 teams can defeat each other. 
 

We don’t want useless minnows who are ready to give free points to their opponents!

it was last year , they make 3 videos for every game ....good lucking finding it

 

there was a time DD , MI, KKR was to but they all have become very professional now 

 

  • RR- from start they had zubin barucha very smart guy
  • RCB- got hesson this year but before that it was captain show , still owners didnt interfere much
  • KKR - got venky mysore brilliant guy , so analysts play a huge role in auction n after that its coaching that runs the show and if captain is like gambhir then plays huge part
  • MI became very proff with huge coaching setup
  • CSK - always dhoni fleming show- least interfering owners\
  • DC - this yr has parth jindal comes across very intelligent but ponting runs the show 

So i think its KXIP who is still running the old ways

agree.. they shouldnt hire and chop so often.

Basically they have always lacked a core team. i.e., two or three Indian and two foreign players who are always with their team. Their auction strategies always lack vision. Captaincy is everything in T20s.. they have never understood that.

Exactly they lack a core team

Delhi had same problem but in last fe years they have developed one of the best core teams

KP11 last 5 captains are David Miller, Murali Vijay, Maxwell, Ashwin, KL Rahul.. 

People with no real experience as captain at international level and almost all of them are self centred players in their own way with no leadership skills. 

Curious how somebody thought M Vijay can be a captain in 2016 when he was already well past his prime. So you pick a player who is not good enough as a batsman alone and make him a captain with no history of leading sides?

Not justifying Rahul's captaincy, but the captain can only do so much if the team players are non performers. He should be accountable though along with the coaches for the shambolic performance that we are seeing form the team. Some of the players he picked are his buddies like Agarwal, Gowtham. Seems like he had a say in auctions. Kumble is also from same state. The management picked the known buddies, but it isn't working.

On paper KXIP looks like a decent team.  They should try this. 

 

Rahul

Mayank

Pooran

Karun

Prabhsimran

Mandeep

Mujeeb

Jordan

Bishnoi

Shami

Cottrell 

This XI can give likes of RCB,  CSK,  RR quite a run.  They need to back the Indian batsman & stack up the overseas bowling options.

It's too late now. They should've tried this at the beginning of the season.
