IPL 2018, KXIP vs SRH: 5 things to watch out for

#3 Homecoming for three former KXIP players

Three former KXIP players are now part of the SRH squad. So coming back to Mohali will be a homecoming for them. The three players, Wriddhiman Saha, Sandeep Sharma, and Natarajan, would want to create some new memories playing against their old side.

Wriddhiman Saha is the fifth highest run-getter for KXIP. In the 49 innings that he played for them, he scored 1115 runs with a strike rate of 131.95. He is also the wicket-keeper with the maximum number of dismissals, 48, for the franchise from Punjab.

Sandeep Sharma was a vital member of the KXIP squad for the last five years. In the 56 matches that he played for them, he took 71 wickets and is next only to Piyush Chawla in the list of highest wicket-takers for KXIP. His average of 22.35 is the best for anyone bowling for Kings XI Punjab.

Natarajan played six matches for the Kings XI Punjab last season. He took just two wickets for them. He might not feature in this match due to the high competition in SRH bowling department.
