IPL 2019: One player from each team who might not get a single game

#3 Kings XI Punjab - Murugan Ashwin

Kings XI Punjab was the busiest team during the IPL auction as they bought 13 players - the most by any team in 2019. Their biggest buy was Tamil Nadu's mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy for 8.4 Cr. All eyes will be on the young spinner come March 25.

With Tamil Nadu's Ravichandran Ashwin leading the side, Varun will be looking forward to forming a wonderful partnership with his captain. One of the finds of 2018 IPL was Afghan spinner Mujeeb ur Rahman, as he outfoxed the likes of Virat Kohli and proved a vital force in the powerplay.

With such a strong spinner trio, it would be difficult for Punjab's third TN spinner Murugan Ashwin to break into the playing XI. He is a handy back-up but it is unlikely that he might play a game this season.
