Kings XI Punjab raised quite a few eyebrows when they announced the release of David Miller from their team ahead of IPL 2020. The Mohali-based franchise lacks a solid name in the middle order now. They have the trio of Nicholas Pooran, Mandeep Singh and Sarfaraz Khan in their squad. While Pooran has proven himself as a match-winner, the same cannot be said about the other two batsmen.

Mandeep had broken into the Indian team based on his consistent performances. However, he lost his touch and soon found himself out of the national side. On the other side, the fans billed Sarfaraz Khan as the next big thing in Indian cricket but the youngster has proved to be a one-season wonder thus far.

Hence, Anil Kumble may recruit a hard-hitting middle batsman in the auction. There are many foreign players who can play this role but among the Indian names, Rohan Kadam is the most eligible player for this position.

The left-handed batsman had been phenomenal for Karnataka in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He slammed three fifties in the tourney and helped Karnataka win the tournament. Besides, he can bowl some leg-breaks as well. Thus, he could be the perfect addition to the Kings XI squad for IPL 2020.
