IPL 2020: 3 potential captains KXIP can sign at the auctions

#1 Eoin Morgan

Eoin Morgan seems to be the best choice for KXIP in this category

In the 85 T20Is that Eoin Morgan has played so far, he has scored 1985 runs at an average of 30.07 and a strike-rate of 135.21. His best score of 91 came in the recently concluded 4th T20I against New Zealand.

Morgan decorated his resume with the ICC World Cup Trophy earlier this summer. His captaincy was considered as one of the major reasons for England's success in the tournament. Having been at the helm for a while now, Morgan is experienced with this responsibility.

Morgan has played for KXIP in the past. Though that stint did not work out well for both the parties, if KXIP can sign the Englishman again, Morgan's second-innings with the franchise could well turn out to be a fruitful one.

Apart from guiding the team in the right direction with his impeccable leadership skills. Morgan can also solve the struggling middle-order woes in the Punjab squad.

David Miller has been given far too many opportunities and it could now be time to part ways with the South African. A domestic contingent comprising Mayank Agarwal, Karun Nair, Sarfraz Khan and, Mandeep Singh consumed the bulk of the spots is the middle-order last season. Nicholas Pooran also did well in a few games.

Morgan's presence in the squad can help the other young players to play around him and help the team reach the intended target. Morgan is an asset during the final-overs with his big-hitting skills, something that can be put to good use by Anil Kumble and co.

Morgan is a proven captain and if KXIP must look for an improved performance next season, they have to try and sign this player at the upcoming auction.
