The current Australian limited-overs skipper, Aaron Finch was released by the Kings XI Punjab ahead of the 2019 IPL auctions. Finch, who was bought by KXIP for INR 6.2 crore at the 2018 IPL auctions, managed just 134 runs in ten matches last season.

Finch has played for seven different IPL franchises so far- the Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Daredevils, Pune Warriors India, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Lions and Kings XI Punjab is the only player to do so.

So far, he has amassed 1738 IPL runs in 75 matches at a strike-rate of 130.38. Certainly, he is someone who could provide the electrifying start at the top of the innings hence the franchises might be tempted to bolster their squads by adding him to their ranks.

Having been a pivotal member for the Aussies at the top, the current skipper will be key to the Men in Yellow's title defence at the World Cup and must be protected during the 2019 IPL.
