IPL 2020 :Kings XI Punjab Strength And Weakness In UAE
Kings XI Punjab is quit similar to RCB,always they had service of best players like Adam Gilchrist, Virendra Sehwag, R Ashwin but still they among 3 team which never won IPL Title.
They have tried 13 captains so far in 12 season, KL Rahul will be the new Captain for this season. In IPL 2018 ,KXIP started really well ,but lost the stream winning only 1 match in last 8 matches and failed to qualify for play off. The situation was no same in 2019 too.
Here we will look KXIP Strength and Weakness for IPL 2020.
Strength :
Kings XI Punjab have well balanced Squard with most bases covered .They have most destructive batting unit which includes ,captain KL Rahul who can take away game in no time. Chris Gayle,Glenn Maxwell, Mayank Aggarwal ,Karun Nair and Jimmy Neesham make batting look settled.
Bowling unit also looks good , Mohammad Shami will lead the attack with includes Mujib ur Rehman, M Ashwin,Sheldon Cottrell,Chris Jordan. K Gowtham adds depth to bowling and batting.
Weakness
They traded R Ashwin to Delhi Captials during transfer window,this making their spin department little weak as they now have inexperienced spinners ,a bad day for Mujeeb or M Ashwin will hurt team very badly.
Another problem for KXIP is they don't have back up expirenced plays, who can contribute when some player underperform or get injured. This really costed them badly in 2019 as Karin Nair had poor outing. Chris Gayle some time perform well ,but dispoints in important matches.
Squard
