If you ask yourself who can be the potential X-Factor for KXIP in the 2018 season? One name that instantly comes to mind is Australia's all-rounder Marcus Stoinis.

Stoinis shot into fame when he pulverized the Kiwi attack into submission with a breathtaking 146 at Auckland. His blitz earned him an IPL contract with the Kings XI Punjab.

Stoinis scored a breezy 22 off 15 balls, and while he bowled just an over, he'd bee hoping to put on an all-round show against RCB.

#7 Ravi Ashwin (Captain)

One of the few things that I am looking forward to in this IPL is how Ravichandran Ashwin fares in his captaincy debut and the vile off-spinner fared well in his debut, along with a picket in his four overs, Ashwin's field placements and tactics on the field were immaculate.
