IPL 2019: What Should be KXIP's Ideal Playing XI

All Rounder and Spinners- Sam Curran, Ravichandran Ashwin and Varun Chakravarthy

Ravichandran Ashwin

A lot has been expected of Sam Curran ever since he won the 'Man of the Series' against India in the Test series. He's a very talented all rounder and brings an edge into the side. He's equally well versed in striking the ball as much as he is in swinging it. He will be one player to watch out for this season.

Ashwin is most likely to continue with his leadership role though he wasn't at his best both with marshalling his troops or with his own bowling. He will hope that that can change this time around.

Varun Chakravarthy brings a lot of mystery behind him and is pretty unknown to most of the batsman. After his exploits in the TNPL and Vijay Hazare Trophy, Varun must aim for success in this mega event.

Pacers- Andrew Tye and Ankit Rajpoot

Ankit Rajpoot

Andrew Tye won the Purple Cap last season and impressed with his slower deliveries, bouncers and wide line yorkers. His availability for the entire season remains a doubt but he's a shoo-in into the playing lineup if he's available.

Ankit Rajpoot came in late last season but impressed with his good swing bowling at the start of the innings and must get a lot of opportunities to play this season. He can be a game changer for the team.
