3 Players Whom Kings XI Punjab Should Buy In IPL 2020 Auction

3 Players Whom Kings XI Punjab Should Buy In IPL 2020 Auction; Unfortunately, Kings XI Punjab is one of those franchises, who never marked their name on the Indian Premier League Cup. They came close in 2013 but Manish Pandey’s magical knock for KKR had it away from their pockets. Much like every season, Kings XI Punjab once again left quite a few players to start afresh for the new season.

This time, they made sure to have an iconic person in the team with the recruitment of Anil Kumble. The former head coach of the Indian National Cricket Team has got an incredible success rate as the coach to make things fall in place. In the upcoming IPL 2020 auction, the legendary person is expected to be on one of the tables bidding for Kings XI Punjab.

In addition, they got the highest bidding amount after releasing the likes of Varun Chakravarthy, Andrew Tye, Sam Curran, David Miller and a few other youngsters. This would give them a chance to go hard during the auction for a few desired players. Meanwhile, we figured out three players, whom Kings XI Punjab should buy for the upcoming edition of the tournament.

3 Players Whom Kings XI Punjab Should Buy In IPL 2020 Auction:

3. Nathan Coulter-Nile:

The two departments that Kings XI Punjab looked weak in the last couple of seasons was in bowling section and the middle-order batting. In 2018 season, Andrew Tye was the star performer, who lost his mojo when they gave him Mohammed Shami as the partner in IPL 2019.

Apart from Shami, none of the bowlers looked consistent enough to control the opposition batsman throughout the tournament in 2019. In order to have a new bowling team, Kings XI Punjab left out Andrew Tye alongside Sam Curran before trading Ankit Rajpoot to Rajasthan.

In absence of them, Nathan Coulter-Nile, who got the perfect technique for the shorter of the game would get the nod from Kings XI Punjab. He got the knack to pick wickets in powerplay overs and restains runs in the death overs. Besides that, he whacks the ball out of the park with ease down the order.

2. Anrich Nortje:

South Africa’s fast bowler was signed by Kolkata Knight Riders in the previous season but unfortunately, he had an injury during the time of the tournament, which kept him away from the action. However, he proved his skills with the ball at International level and also delivering goods in the Mzansi Super League.

His pace would certainly keep the batsmen in check and also got decent variations to make it tough for the opposition during death overs. His affinity to bowl the yorkers makes him a quintessential cricketer for the T20I format. He is a solid player to have on the team.

1. Eoin Morgan:

Lack of a perfect middle-order batsman proved costly for Kings XI Punjab in the last couple of seasons. They have relied on the likes of David Miller, Sam Curran and Karun Nair, but, unfortunately, none of them performed to make things fall in place.

Even though Chris Gayle and KL Rahul gave their best to put the team on top for most part of the game, the lack of batsmen in the middle-order had witnessed them lose quite a few games.

Looking at their sorts, one man, who can perfectly settle in their lineup is world cup-winning skipper Eoin Morgan. The elegant left-handed batsman can turn the tables with his incredible strokeplay. He can be the middle-order batsman and also one of the best finishers available in the market at present.

Besides that, Eoin Morgan’s experience will certainly help Kings XI Punjab during crunch situations of the game. In fact, a captaincy material as well. He would be one of the hot favourites during IPL 2020 auction.
