#4 Kings XI Punjab - Chris Jordan

Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) signed Chris Jordan in the IPL 2020 auctions and as Anil Kumble said, Jordan is signed to aid their death bowling fears. Now, KXIP also completed the signing of Sheldon Cottrell and as of right now, it seems Mohammed Shami and Cottrell will most likely be the Punjab based franchise's first choice fast bowling pair.

Jordan might only be a back-up or replacement for the likes of Cottrell or Hardus Viljoen. It could also be the case that the Englishman might play as an all-rounder but KXIP have James Neesham for that department. So, in any case, it seems Jordan will play second fiddle and that means, we might see him on the bench more often than not.

#3 Kolkata Knight Riders - Chris Green

Chris Green is an Australian all-rounder, who is renowned for his mystery off-spin ability. Yes, he has been bought by Kolkata Knight Riders as a direct replacement for someone like Sunil Narine.

The 26-year-old will be playing his first-ever IPL, so it's highly unlikely that he will get many games because he has never been tested in Indian conditions. Unless Narine gets injured or needs rest, Green might be seen sitting on the bench.

The Australian has had a good 2019 all around the world in the T20 leagues and he will be all geared up to take part in the world's biggest franchise T20 tournament but he might not get many games and that's why he will have to be ready to pounce on any opportunity he gets.
