The oldest team to stay away from the title so far is Punjab Kings. This team, which was earlier known as Kings XI Punjab, has also changed its name. This team has reached the finals twice but is still far away from the title. Punjab Kings, who were the runners-up of last season, had decided not to make much changes in their team this time. This is the reason why he retained 21 of his players.
If we look at the performance of Punjab Kings since 2008, this team has been the runner-up twice and has reached the semi-finals once. Most of the times she has finished sixth, seventh or 8th. The specialty of this team is that it has changed captains continuously till now. Currently, the captaincy of Punjab Kings is with Shreyas Iyer.
