IPL 2019: Possible finishers for each franchise

#7 Sarfaraz Khan (Kings XI Punjab)

Sarfaraz Khan

Although, I personally wanted to mention David Miller as a possible finisher for Kings XI Punjab, but considering that 3 out of the 4 overseas slots in Punjab's playing XI are most possibly going be occupied by Chris Gayle, Andrew Tye, Mujeeb ur Rahman and the fourth slot being a toss-up between either David Miller, Nicolas Pooran or Sam Curran. Therefore, I have decided to go with young and talented Sarfaraz Khan as a possible finisher for Kings XI Punjab.

Coming to Sarfaraz Khan, who was once a blue-eyed boy of Indian skipper Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz was released by his former franchise RCB after a poor performance with the bat in the last season and thereby got picked by Kings XI Punjab in the IPL Auction this year.

Despite putting up unimpressive performances in the previous edition of IPL, Kings XI Punjab will be looking at Sarfaraz Khan to don the role of a finisher for them, as Sarfaraz is capable of being a good finisher as seen by his exploits for RCB in 2015 and 2016 edition of IPL and also in the U-19 World Cup 2016.

Overall IPL batting stats of Sarfaraz Khan:

Matches - 25 | Runs - 228 | SR - 159.44 | HS - 45*
