The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will host the entire IPL 2020 that will run between 19th September and 10th November 2020 in three different venues.
Like every year, all the franchises are hopeful to make a good start in the upcoming IPL 2020 and achieve the best result in this tournament. But while eight teams are participating in this tournament, only one side will have the last laugh at the end of this tournament.
While there are few IPL captains whose leadership futures of their side are not dependent on the team’s performances in the IPL 2020, some IPL skippers’ leadership futures likely have the opposite status.
Here we are talking about three IPL captains who can lose their leadership position due to unsuccessful results in IPL 2020
KL Rahul (Kings XI Punjab)
Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) have appointed KL Rahul as their new captain for the IPL 2020. It will be the first time when Rahul will lead an IPL team. Rahul is the most in-form batsman of this team as he not only finished as the most run-scorer for this side in the last two seasons, but he was the third and second most run-scorer in IPL 2018 and IPL 2019 respectively.
KXIP have never won the IPL trophy while they finished as the runners-up in the IPL 2014. But after the IPL 2014, they have never advanced to the playoffs. Though it is expected that the franchise will be very supportive of their new captain, due to their consistent struggling performances in the recent period, they may go with another leadership option in the future if Rahul fails to bring better results for the side in the IPL 2020.
