IPL 2020: 3 selection dilemmas for Kings XI Punjab

#2 Krishnappa Gowtham or Deepak Hooda

Krishnappa Gowtham is a new addition to the squad

Another decision that KXIP might have to make is picking between two all-rounders who can not only add depth to the batting department but can also give two to three overs with the ball.

Krishnappa Gowtham, over the past couple of years in the IPL, has been great for the Rajasthan Royals because of the dry conditions on offer in Jaipur. But it remains to be seen whether he will be that effective on the green tracks at Mohali.

That's the reason why KL Rahul might ponder going with Deepak Hooda instead, as he is a tall off-spinner who might extract more bounce than Gowtham. In the end, you have to think that both these players' batting skills might end up being the deciding factor.
