IPL 2019: Best all-rounder of each team

Kings XI Punjab- Sam Curran/ Moises Henriques

The Kings XI Punjab made the most expensive overseas signing in the IPL 2019 Auction as they paid a whopping ₹7.2 crore to secure the services of Sam Curran, the English all-rounder.

Curran provides skipper Ravichandran Ashwin with a solid bowling option who should bowl all his 4 overs and pick up wickets. His left-arm seam bowling creates a tight angle which cramps the right-hander for room and leaves him stranded in a position where he's unable to do any foot movement. His batting is chivalrous and he's a brave batsman who is a clean striker of the ball.

He possesses good technique and can hang in during tough situations and is a complete package. Moises Henriques is a highly under-rated player and was a steal at the price of 1 Crore. He is a proper all-rounder who can take over in case Curran is injured or they need to play another batsman.
