5 Reasons why Kings XI Punjab will fail to make it to the playoffs

5. Lack of reliable in-form domestic performers

Investing in Indian cricketers who have enjoyed a solid domestic campaign is extremely necessary. Proper experience on Indian conditions and proper knowledge enjoyed by the domestic cricketers can be invaluable for a franchise.

Kings XI Punjab have invested wisely in the services of a pace bowler like T. Natarajan who has enjoyed a sensational domestic campaign but the batting department lacks the presence of such an option.

In case of an eventuality where Manan Vohra and Gurukeerat Singh Mann fail to get the job done the side might crash out early this season as well.
