#7 Kings XI Punjab - Varun Chakravarthy and Sam Curran

Another team that was active in the auction was Kings XI Punjab. The franchise bought a lot of fresh talent on the auction table like Sam Curran and Varun Chakravarthy and will be banking on the duo to guide to their maiden title.
Tamil Nadu off-spinner, Chakravarthy was one of the most successful bowlers in the Tamil Nadu Premier League and will be the one to watch out for. With off-spinners like captain Ravichandran Ashwin and Afghan teenager Mujeeb Ur Rahman in the squad, it will be interesting to see whether the 26-year-old gets a chance to feature in the squad.
Curran who was the Man of the Series in the Test series between India and England, was picked by KXIP for a whopping ₹7.2 crore. He will be key to the team's fortunes as he can give the captain 4 overs and also contribute runs in the lower order.
