Adam Gilchrist was also the captain of Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings made Adam Gilchrist their captain in 2011. He held this responsibility for the team for three years and captained in 34 matches. But Gilchrist, who won the IPL title for Deccan Chargers under his captaincy, failed here. Mike David Hansi also took over this responsibility between 2012 and 2013. He captained in 12 matches.
George Bailey captained the most matches
George Bailey is the player who captained Punjab Kings in the most number of matches. He was the captain of the team from 2014 to 2015 and he did this in 35 matches. But he too could not win the title. Virender Sehwag was also the captain of Punjab in one match in 2015. David Miller captained Punjab in 6 matches and Murali Vijay in 8 matches.
Glenn Maxwell also flopped badly

If we count the numbers in this way, Punjab has had 16 captains so far. However, some of them have captained only in one or two matches. The special thing is that there have been 17 seasons of IPL so far. Now Shikhar Dhawan has announced his retirement, so it will be interesting to see who will be the next captain of the team.
