Kings XI Punjab surprised everyone by releasing Aaron Finch from their squad. Aaron Finch, who was bought by Kings XI Punjab for a whopping 6.2 crore, has been in scintillating form this year for Australia. The opener has scored 469 runs in T20I at an average of 52.11 and a strike-rate of 189.88. He created a world T20I record by scoring 172 runs against Zimbabwe this year.

However, Finch was asked to play in the middle-order by Kings XI to accommodate Gayle and Rahul in the opening slot. Finch struggled to make a mark and scored just 134 runs from his 10 games. He would need a team who can provide him with an opening slot to unleash his talent.

Considering the fact that Dhawan is no more part of SRH, the 2016 Champions need an experienced opening batsman to replace him. His partnership with Warner can establish fear in opponents bowling line-up.
