Analysis and review of 2018 IPL retentions

Kings XI Punjab (KXIP)

Axar will be keen to repay the faith of the KXIP management

Retention Strategy

KXIP have not had much success and an overhaul was probably the only solution to their woes. They've retained Axar as he's a good all-rounder in Indian conditions. They might just entrust him with captaincy responsibilities as well.

Retention

Axar Patel

He has done well for Punjab in the past, and has also performed decently for India when given the opportunity.

Approx. Value: 5 Cr. To 8 Cr.

Retained: 6.75 Cr.
