#1 Chris Morris
Chris Morris, who began his IPL career with Chennai Super Kings in 2013, represented Rajasthan Royals in Season 8 before joining Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) during the 2016 edition of the cash-rich league. The 32-year-old played 34 matches for Delhi during his four-year stint, and scalped 13 wickets for the Shreyas Iyer-led franchise last season.

A hard-hitting batsman and an excellent fast-medium bowler, Morris has 1557 runs and 233 wickets to his name in 187 T20 appearances so far.
His release was one of the most surprising moves ahead of the much-awaited 2020 IPL auction, where the Proteas all-rounder will be one of the hottest properties. Known for his scorching spells and fearless batting low down the order, Morris would be a coveted player given his death bowling prowess and lusty blows with the willow.
With a hefty purse (INR 42.70 crore), Kings XI Punjab could well go all out to secure the experienced Morris in order to strengthen their lineup.
