IPL 2018: Team wise players worth the Right to Match (RTM) Cards
While the directly retained players' list of the various franchises was announced on January 4, it's yet to be seen how each team utilises their remaining RTMs on the day of the auction.
Kings XI Punjab
Kings XI Punjab have had a roller coaster ride over the years, outperforming themselves in some seasons and fizzling out in others. This time, they’ve made a surprising call by letting go of high-profile players like David Miller and Glenn Maxwell in the direct retention leg.
RTMs remaining: 3
Players possible:
David Miller: Protean all-rounder, David Miller has been an asset for the Punjab franchise and has fetched them out of a pickle on more than one occasions. As a result, the 28-year-old is quite likely to be KXIP’s first choice for an RTM card.
Hashim Amla: Another Protean, Amla needs no introduction. Come any team, come any format of the game, this man is a star and his batting skills will provide KXIP with the much-needed firepower while lending a balance to the team simultaneously. Amla had accrued 420 runs in 10 games in IPL 2017.
Wridhhiman Saha: Indian Test wicketkeeper, Saha is held in the greatest of regards for his agile keeping skills. Add to that some serious power-hitting skills down the order in pressure situations and you get the man perfectly worthy of an RTM card.
