Axar Patel was retained by Kings XI Punjab last season hoping that he will take the mantle of a bowling allrounder for Kings XI Punjab. Patel, however, he failed to live up to the expectation as he could manage only three wickets and 80 runs from his nine games. It was a complete contrast to his 2017 IPL performance as he took 15 wickets and scored 227 runs.

Kings XI Punjab's decision to release will help SRH to get Axar's support. SRH has released all-rounders like Carlos Brathwaite, Chris Jordon and will be in need of an all-rounder to fill the void. Also, SRH released Bipul Sharma from their squad and will be in need of a left-arm spinner.

Like Manan Vohra, Axar Patel can restart his career with SRH should they buy him in IPL auction.
