IPL 2020: 3 players who could be surplus to KXIP

#1 Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Mujeeb Ur Rahman announced himself in IPL 2018 when he bamboozled some big names with his spin bowling. Mujeeb's career has taken off since then as he is one of the most sought-after spinners in T20 cricket. However, to the surprise of many, Mujeeb might struggle to find a place in the KXIP playing XI this season.

Chris Gayle, Glenn Maxwell and Nicolas Pooran are considered to be sure starters in the playing XI while a pacer might take the fourth overseas player slot in the line-up. Moreover, the Kings have packed their side with Indian spinners which signals to the fact that they might rely on the Indian contingent in the spin department. Krishnappa Gowtham, Murugan Ashwin and Jagadeesha Suchith have a fair bit of IPL experience and might be preferred over Mujeeb. While there are no doubts about Mujeeb's prowess as a spinner, the team composition might result in him warming the bench in IPL 2020.
