<p>

Kings XI Punjab

One of 3 teams since the inaugural edition of the IPL to have not won the title, the Kings XI Punjab will be looking to change their fortunes this time around.

Not shy to spend their money in the auction, the Kings XI find themselves with a completely different squad from previous editions, having only retained Axar Patel.

On paper, this team looks to have got the right mix of domestic and foreign players. Bringing in experienced names such as KL Rahul, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuvraj Singh, Karun Nair and Mohit Sharma, the Kings XI should build their squad around this core group of players. They have also added the Australian trio of heavy-hitting Aaron Finch, all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, and the hat-trick man himself, Andrew Tye.

Even though it is quite evident that this team have great balance and a deep squad, they lack an experienced leader. However, I still wouldn't count out them out as far as reaching the playoffs is concerned.
