IPL 2019: Ranking each team based on its finishers

#6 Kings XI Punjab

Miller will need support

One of the main reasons for the failure of the Kings XI Punjab despite starting strongly is the lack of contribution from its middle order.

The absence of a quality finisher to support David Miller hurt the team the most.

This year they have added some solidity to the middle order by bringing in Moises Henriques who has been tremendous in the BBL and a power hitter in Nicholas Pooran.

Apart from that Sarfaraz Khan who has been a hit and miss over the years for the Royal Challengers Bangalore is another option they would have for the role of a finisher.

But at this moment, they seem to lack a quality player who can seal the role and be a game changer apart from David Miller who has been a lone warrior for them in the past.

Expected players who can don the role of a finisher and their T20 strike rates:

1. David Miller: 139.12
2. Nicholas Pooran: 152.58
3. Sarfaraz Khan: 144.26
