Indian Premier League (IPL) always remains a hot topic in the cricket world. Not only the players but fans and cricket pundits always show the excitement for the mega T20 league. As the auction for upcoming edition is going to be held on December 18 in Jaipur, the franchises are at work in order to pick some of the best players in their line-up.

In November, the teams came up with their retained and released list of players and it has already given rise to the large discussions over who would find a bid and who would not. There are also a lot of predictions about which player could go to which team.

Meanwhile, one of the non-performing teams of the league, Kings XI Punjab would be hoping to get out of their dark phase and make it big next season. They have had a different set of squads the in the past few seasons but it didn’t work for them. After finishing fifth in 2017, they ended up last but second, last year.

Co-owned by actress, Preity Zinta, Punjab was led by Ravichandran Ashwin in the IPL 2018. The off-spinner might again lead the charge in the upcoming season, however, they need to add some good players to change their fortunes this time around.

Here we bring you the three players who they can go with in the auction:

All-rounders play a vital role in team’s better performances especially in a league like IPL. If you have a few really good batsmen who can bowl or vice-versa, you could steal the show and emerge on top. Moises Henriques, the Aussie cricketer is one of those all-rounders who possesses some extraordinary skills.

He can bat up the order and bowl with the new ball as well. The 6′ 2″ tall lad is a handy option and has the experience of playing in the cash-rich league before. He likes to guide the team by keeping it tight from one end and Punjab needs such player in the line-up among all the flamboyant cricketers. The franchise might look to secure his services in order to improve their performances and hence fetch their maiden IPL title.
