With the presence of Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow, and Liam Livingstone, Punjab Kings have a mighty batting unit. They need someone in the bowling department to support Kagiso Rabada with the ball. It would be much better if the player could contribute with the bat.

Punjab Kings released West Indies all-rounder Odean Smith ahead of next season and they also have an overseas slot for the bowling all-rounder vacant. Sam Curran will undoubtedly be an upgrade on the West Indies all-rounder.

Moreover, Sam Curran has already played for Punjab Kings in the past as the Englishman kickstarted his IPL career with the Mohali-based franchise only. In IPL 2019, he scored 95 runs in 9 IPL 2019 games besides picking 10 scalps. With INR 32.20 crore left in the purse, the Punjab Kings have the financial might to beat the competition to bring back their former player.
