IPL Auction 2020: 3 teams who will be looking to sign Indian batsmen

#3 Kings XI Punjab

Kings XI Punjab

Kings XI Punjab need a solid figure to lead their middle order and preferably have the ability to finish off the game with a high-scoring rate. Now, Hanuma Vihari might not really look like someone who can be extremely explosive in the end but he does possess a very radical style of play and can switch gears as the innings progresses.

The right-hander could be an ideal number four/five batsman for KXIP, and given the ultra-attacking nature of their openers, it would always be ideal to have someone with a bit of steel and flair both going down in the order.

Stuart Binny is someone who has fallen off the radar in recent times but he didn’t really have a disappointing season with the Rajasthan Royals last time around. In fact, his strike rate seems to have improved and he does have the sheer strength to clear the boundaries when required. Considering the wider and longer ground in Mohali, Binny could prove to be extremely effective if used well with both the bat and the ball.
