#1 Aaron Finch (Australia)
Aaron Finch was released by Kings XI Punjab along with several other big names like Yuvraj Singh and Axar Patel. The Australian captain has had a great season post IPL and will certainly be on the radar of teams looking out for an opener.
It's really interesting to see that the Kings lost patience with Finch while they have retained players like Mayank Agarwal, who hardly scored any runs, or Glenn Maxwell, who they have had for three seasons before 2018 though he has been underperforming consistently.

Finch recently made history by posting the highest individual score by a batsman in T20Is, slamming 172 against Zimbabwe. He is in the second place in the ICC T20I Rankings and has scored 469 runs in 13 innings for Australia with an average of 52 and an absolutely destructive strike rate of 190.
With Warner set to return and open the batting, imagine what havoc the fellow Australian Finch can create with him. This is unlikely to happen, but if it does then Sunrisers will really have a bolstered batting lineup for 2019 IPL.
