IPL Auction 2020: 3 teams that will be looking to sign all-rounders 

#2 Kings XI Punjab

Kings XI Punjab

Squad: Arshdeep Singh, Chris Gayle, Darshan Nalkande, K Gowtham, Hardus Viljoen, Harpreet Brar, Jagadeesha Suchith, Karun Nair, KL Rahul, Mandeep Singh, Mayank Agarwal, Mohammed Shami, Mujeeb ur Rahman, M Ashwin, Nicholas Pooran, Sarfaraz Khan

One of the biggest reasons for Kings XI Punjab's dismal performance in IPL 2019 was their inability to find the right playing combination. The lack of all-rounders proved extremely costly for the Kings XI as they often found themselves being either a batsman short or a bowler short.

Sam Curran was inconsistent while Moses Henriques got injured midway through the tournament. Both of these players have now been released by the franchise.

The new team management has tried to address the issue by trading in K Gowtham. However, they will need to also rope in someone like Carlos Brathwaite, who can provide fire-power with the bat and an extra option with the ball.
