IPL 2019: Debutants who could be potential match winners for each franchise

#7 Kings XI Punjab: Prabhsimran Singh

Prabhsimran Singh is certainly a player for the future

In this year's IPL auction, Kings XI Punjab turned everyone's head when they picked the young wicket-keeper from Patiala for a whopping 4.8 crores.

Little did they know, how efficient a batsman he is in the shorter format. Anybody who closely watched this year's Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament would be aware of what this young wicket-keeper batsman from India brings to the table.

His 54 runs off 20 balls in a match against Mumbai who had top bowlers like Dhawal Kulkarni, Shardul Thakur and Tushar Deshpande in their ranks is a testament to his ability.

We certainly think that Preity Zinta and co have pulled off a big deal by signing this young prodigy. After all, this young lad has nothing to lose and that puts him in a better position to prove his mettle this season.

Another selection from our end that would raise some serious questions sees Jalaj Saxena being picked as a potential match winner for Delhi Capitals who enters this year's competition with a new name.

People who have watched him play for Kerala in the domestic circuit will understand the reason why he is considered as a match winner.

After being part of Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore between the period 2013-2015, Saxena has been picked by Delhi Capitals this season.

For all his exploits in the shorter format at the domestic level, it comes as a little surprise that the all-rounder from Kerala is yet to make his IPL debut.

With Delhi Capitals looking to revamp their setup completely, one can expect this talented lad to finally get his much-awaited opportunity.

We did consider Colin Ingram first but later realized that he already had an IPL stint with Delhi side in the past.

That concludes our list of players who could be the potential match winners for their respective sides in IPL 2019. Please let us know your opinion in the comments section below.
