IPL 2019: 3 fast bowlers Kings XI Punjab could target at the auction
At the 2018 IPL, the Kings XI Punjab finished in seventh place despite having a great start to the season. While a few of their players performed consistently, the others drifted around and were constantly subjected to chopping and changing.
In the pace bowling department, their Indian pacers Mohit Sharma and Barinder Sran were quite disappointing. Death overs specialist Andrew Tye one of the few silver linings, pickin up 26 wickets to win the Purple Cap. Ankit Rajpoot also impressed in the limited chances that he got.
Kings XI Punjab have released the following players ahead of the auction:
Aaron Finch, Axar Patel, Mohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, Barinder Sran, Ben Dwarshuis, Manoj Tiwary, Akshdeep Nath, Pardeep Sahu, Mayank Dagar, and Manzoor Dar
And they have retained the following players:
Lokesh Rahul, Chris Gayle, Andrew Tye, Mayank Agarwal, Ankit Rajpoot, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Karun Nair, David Miller, and Ravichandran Ashwin
Let's take a look at 3 pacers they can target at the auction.
#3 V Athisayaraj Davidson
Davidson can be a great option in Kings XI's quest for an Indian pacer. Hailing from Tamil Nadu, he made a name for himself after an extremely successful campaign in the TNPL.
Known for his low slingy action which is often compared to that of Lasith Malinga, Davidson bowls fantastic yorkers and is a great partnership breaker.
With very little known about him, Davidson could be an effective differential for the team this year. Punjab would do well to mold the young bowler into a great player.
