IPL 2019 Auction: 5 Players KXIP should release before the auction

#2 Aaron Finch

Aaron Finch could find himself back in the auction pool

Aaron Finch, only batsman till date to represent seven IPL franchises i.e, Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Daredevils, Pune Warriors, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Lions and Kings XI Punjab, might find his way back in the auction pool.

In the last IPL season, the 31-year-old scored 134 runs in his ten outings at an average of 16.75, which doesn't satisfy his price tag of ₹6.2 crores. His poor form certainly affected Kings XI's chances of playing play-off's.

Despite being one of the top-ranked batsmen in the T20I circuit, his recent form in the international cricket also put a question mark on his place in the team.

In his most recent T20 assignment against Pakistan, the Aussie opener could only manage four runs in his three outings, which clearly demonstrate the bad run he is going through.

Punjab already has decent openers in the form of Chris Gayle and KL Rahul. Both had a splendid season last time out with Rahul topping the team runs chart with 659 runs followed by Gayle with 368 runs. In that case, the management may decide to release him.
