3) Ishan Porel
The Kings XI Punjab’s rollercoaster ride in IPL 2020 didn’t reach the desired destination. Unfortunately, they bowed out of the tournament after another hammering from the Chennai Super Kings. It has been an eventful season for them, with sky highs following their initial lows. And then finally, a couple of losses brought their campaign to an abrupt end. Still, there are a lot of positives for them as they have found a good core for the upcoming seasons.
The team management will also be delighted with the growth of their uncapped Indian players. The likes of Ravi Bishnoi and Arshdeep Singh have shown glimpses of their potential. Having said that, they also made the mistake of not utilizing their resources completely. They didn’t try out an emerging talent like Ishan Porel. The speedster could have been a useful option in their pace department, which mostly relied on Mohammed Shami.
Porel has been rising through the pecking order ever since his impressive outings in the 2018 U-19 World Cup. He has been putting up consistent performances for his domestic side Bengal and India A. Mainly; he scalped nine wickets in the 2018-19 Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy. Thereafter, he again hogged the limelight with his spells on the tour of New Zealand. And now the national selectors have rewarded by including him in the 32-member squad to Australia. So seeing his mercurial rise, Punjab should have given him his debut cap in the IPL.
