They had finished at the bottom in the 2015 edition as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;Kings XI Punjab announces M Vijay as the Captain for Kings XI Punjab for the remaining part of the IPL 2016 tournament,&quot; the franchise said in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apart from his failure as the captain, Miller has struggled to contribute as a batsman as well. The South African left-hander has scored a meagre 75 runs from six outings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;David Miller continues to be an integral part of the team and is a very strong player of the squad,&quot; the statement added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Punjab travel to Rajkot to play Gujarat Lions on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Punjab also announced that they will be playing their last three home matches in Mohali on May 7, 9 and 15 respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nagpur was supposed to host the three matches. But the Bombay High Court ordered the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to shift all the matches after May 1 out of Maharashtra due to the prevailing drought in the western state.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;We look forward to the support of our fans in the catchment area as we move ahead in the tournament this year,&quot; Punjab said in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agency.<\/p>\r\n",
