The Punjab Kings played their first-ever IPL tournament in 2008, the inaugural season of the competition. The Kings have been playing in the franchise league for over 18 seasons, and they have not managed to win a single edition before.
Irfan Pathan, the former PBKS all-rounder, revealed that the Punjab Kings have been making too many changes over all these years in the IPL, and also highlighted the swap between the initial seasons.
"Yuvi was captain in the first year; we reached the semi-finals in the inaugural season, but then the IPL moved to South Africa, and we could not perform well there. The leadership should have remained the same, but it was changed in 2010," Pathan recalled.
"What coaches talk about with owners who don't come from a cricketing background and what they feed them plays a massive role. This has been with Punjab; the owners of Punjab also seemed the same at the beginning," the PBKS all-rounder claimed.
"However, now the situation has changed, as they have tried to give more stability to their players in recent times," he added.
"Lack of a stable leadership," Irfan Pathan mentions the real reason behind PBKS' failure
"But if you change 12 captains in 18 years, it means there should be a stable leadership that was not seen. And when there is no stability, then the players will remain insecure, and in such a difficult league, where the players are subjected to immense pressure, they fail to perform.
