As the Indian Premier League (IPL) is all set to begin from 29th March this year, teams and fans are putting their money on certain key players who can play a vital role for their team in clinching this year’s coveted trophy.

In this article, we’ll look at the three key players, who can go on to help Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), to lift their maiden IPL trophy. Punjab is among one of the oldest franchises in the league. Although they have been there since the very beginning, they have stayed away from success in the tournament.

The Kings will look to clinch their first-ever IPL trophy when they take to the field this year. The team has some world-class players who can turn the game in their favour from any situation.

Let’s take a look at the three players who can help KXIP win the IPL 2020.

Lokesh Rahul is in the form of his life at the moment. He is the perfect example of how persistence never fails. Having got the chance to display his skills as a substitute keeper for Rishabh Pant in the Indian team, Rahul has grown from strength to strength to solidify his position

Since MS Dhoni’s departure, Rahul is the first wicketkeeper-batsman who has looked extremely solid in his position and has proved the potential he holds.

He was prioritized ahead of Rishabh Pant in the recently-held India-New Zealand T20 and ODI series and he made sure he fulfilled his part. His performance helped India become the first-ever team to whitewash a team by 5-0 in T20Is as he clinched the Man of the Series award.

Rahul will have added responsibilities on his shoulders as he will also lead the franchise. But, as he has shown that he performs better with added pressure,  Rahul could well be one of the most crucial figures for Punjab in this year’s title race.
