IPL 2020: Predicting where each team will finish on the points table
Pat Cummins, Glenn Maxwell and Chris Morris emerged as the biggest winners of the auction as the trio fetched a deal of 10 Crores or more.
5. Kings XI Punjab
Kings XI Punjab will face a problem of plenty in the upcoming IPL season because they have six high profile foreign stars. Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Sheldon Cottrell, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, James Neesham and Glenn Maxwell all deserve to be in their playing XI.
On the other side, they lack a solid Indian player who could replace any of the aforementioned players. There is no one except Gayle who could open the innings with KL Rahul while Murugan Ashwin is the best alternative for Mujeeb. Maxwell can be replaced by Sarfaraz Khan.
The dearth of Indian talent may trouble Kings XI Punjab because their bowling attack looks very weak without Cottrell and Mujeeb. Also, Rahul does not have much experience in leading an IPL side. Expect Punjab to stay in the race to the playoffs but end at the number 5 position.
