Kings XI finished at the bottom of the table last season with just four wins from 14 games. South African David Miller started the season as the skipper but was relieved of the leadership role midway.
Kings XI will start their IPL 10 campaign against Rising Pune Supergiants on April 8 in Indore, their second home venue after Mohali.
