IPL 2019 auctions: 5 Released players Kings XI Punjab should target at the auction

#1 Daniel Christian

BBL Semi Final - Scorchers v Hurricanes

Dan Christian was a part of the Delhi Daredevils squad last year and now finds himself in the list of released players.

The all-rounder featured in just four fixtures for the Daredevils and took four wickets.

Christian is currently in a purple patch, which can be proved by the fact that the all-rounder was among the leading run scorers in the recently concluded T20 Blast with 415 runs.

Meanwhile, in his 26 T20 outings, Christian amassed 624 runs at a decent average of 34.66 and posses an incredible strike rate of 162.92, which are enough to prove his credentials.

He is an explosive middle-order batsman and has the ability to bowl effectively in the middle overs. With Axar Patel being released from the squad, the Aussie seems to be a perfect option to fill his vacant boots.

So, having Christian in the ranks might be the best option for Punjab to address their woes.
