Who can forget Ashton Turner's scintillating 84* off 43 balls against India while chasing 359 runs under the lights at Mohali in March 2019! It was just his second ODI, and the hard-hitting right-hander announced himself on the world stage with a breathtaking knock.
The 26-year-old, who has been one of the key players for Perth Scorchers, couldn't replicate his Big Bash League success in the IPL after being bought at his base price of INR 50 lakh by Rajasthan Royals. Turner managed just three runs in four matches for the Royals in 2019, before being released by the inaugural IPL winners ahead of the 2020 auction.
With the Mohali deck likely to suit his game and Punjab in need of a reliable big-hitter in the middle-order, the Western Australia batsman could well get a contract with Kings XI Punjab this time.
