#2 Nicholas Pooran
The 23-year-old wicket-keeper batsman has evolved as a T20 player in recent times and has notably played for a number of IPL teams over the years. He was picked by Mumbai Indians to play in IPL 2017 but could not get a game. His career has now revived in the last year with some serious performances all around the world and Punjab have grabbed him to guard the team in the top order.
His inclusion in the XI allows the team to have a quality wicket-keeper and not having to adjust with the part-time wicket keeping of KL Rahul or having to play an unknown PrabhSimran Singh for every match. With an ability to hit the ball cleanly at the top order, Nicholas Pooran will be looking forward to taking his game to the next level with some quality knocks for Punjab in this IPL.
Nicholas Pooran is undoubtedly a potential game changer for Kings XI Punjab.
