IPL 2018: 5 Players Kings XI Punjab should pick in IPL 2019
Another promising season awaits the Punjab franchise and they will want to start planning for it sooner.
2. Eoin Morgan
It was a catastrophic outing for KXIP’s middle order foreign recruits like David Miller, Aaron Finch, and Marcus Stoinis. They failed to make their mark even in a single game, adding more pressure on KL Rahul to get the runs. They might look for an experienced middle order player in the next auction.
English limited overs’ skipper Eoin Morgan can be an option worth considering for Sehwag and Ashwin. He’s been one of the pillars of the English side that transformed very drastically in the last 3-4 years. He’s in decent form as well, which can be a facet the Kings would consider going into the auction next season.
He can also be a good mentor to Ashwin as a captain and it won’t be surprising if he gets the leadership role ahead of the Indian spinner. Morgan’s ability was under-estimated in this auction, which resulted in no one bidding for him in the auction. But that’s something which might not happen next season, especially with teams looking for players of his calibre.
