#3 Kings XI Punjab

KXIP have let go a number of players and that includes 2 quality all-rounders in Axar Patel and Marcus Stoinis. The team also needs an additional Indian pacer. Shivam Dube will fit the bill in both cases and he could be an important signing for KXIP.
Ashwin is the only player from the retained list who could play as an all-rounder and the squad would need some more options. Dube can play at No.6 or No.7 and that would help KXIP to concentrate on purchasing pure batsman or pure bowlers to strengthen the team.
Unlike other franchises, Shivam Dube could get more opportunities in this team and he might prefer playing for KXIP.
