IPL Auctions 2017 Analysis: How All The Eight Teams fared? 2
Kings XI Punjab.
  1. Kings XI Punjab:

The Kings XI cannot boast of having many superstars in their ranks, but their team is full of capable match-winners. They bought Martin Guptill for just Rs. 50 Lacs and it is a great steal as the New Zealand opener will love batting at the PCA Stadium in Mohali. With Hashim Amla, David Miller, Eoin Morgan, M. Vijay and Shaun Marsh present, batting wise Kings XI Punjab seems quite strong. The all-round skills of Marcus Stoinis could well go down as the X factor for them.

Bowling wise though, they seem a little weak with just Matt Henry being the overseas pacer. Mohit Sharma and Varun Aaron are talented, but on more days than not, they are quite expensive. Sandeep Sharma’s presence will surely boost their bowling department. The fact that Axar Patel doesn’t have an able backup spinner will again hamper the Kings XI.
