IPL 2020: Most significant foreign pick for each franchise

#3 Glenn Maxwell (Kings XI Punjab)

Glenn Maxwell helped KXIP reach the finals in 2014

Kings XI Punjab got hold of their old friend, Glenn Maxwell for a jaw-dropping INR 10.75 after a tussle against the Delhi Capitals at the auction. Though the Punjab-based franchise had an extraordinary top-order last season, they struggled a lot to finish the games on a high note as they overly relied on the likes of KL Rahul and Chris Gayle.

They lacked a quality batsman who can tonk the ball in the final phase of the innings. In addition to that, their struggle for an extra bowling option was evident as they had to go to Mandeep Singh for a bowl in a game. Glenn Maxwell is the answer to both of their weaknesses from the past season. The Australian all-rounder is in exquisite touch with the bat in the ongoing edition of the Big Bash League and will reinforce the KXIP middle-order.
