IPL 2020: Team-wise one player who can opt for mid-season transfer

6) Mandeep Singh – Kings XI Punjab

For the Kings XI Punjab, it is time for another look back at their drawing board. Even though their leadership has changed, their fortunes have refused to change. They have lost games from winning positions, and it might haunt them in the latter half of the tournament. Their only positive has been their performance against RCB that helped them open their account in the season.

Their batting has been carried by the openers, as the rest of the group is yet to find its feet in the tournament. The performances of their bowling unit have been a mixed bag. Especially, they are losing the plot in the death overs, and they will inevitably try to fix it. At the moment, they are packing their XI with too many batsmen. And it is expected to change in the coming games. In other words, a player like Mandeep Singh will have to wait more for his chances.

In the last two years, Mandeep has not been utilized by the Punjab franchise. So, it’s time that he finds a team where he can get more opportunities to showcase his talent. For him, the most appropriate move will be to Rajasthan Royals, as he can add more value to their middle-order. Mandeep has scored most of his runs for his domestic team Punjab while batting at No.4 and No.5. With an out of form Robin Uthappa, Royals might benefit from his presence in the XI.
