IPL 2020 - Rating the all-rounders of all 8 teams

#4 Kings XI Punjab

James Neesham could prove to be a match-winner for KXIP this season.

All-rounders: Harpreet Brar, Darshan Nalkande, Krishnappa Gowtham, Jagadeesha Suchith, Glenn Maxwell, Chris Jordon, James Neesham, Deepak Hooda, and Tajinder Singh

Kings XI Punjab retained the services of the Australian hard-hitter Glenn Maxwell for ₹10.75 crores. Maxwell had a prominent role in taking KXIP to the final back in 2014, with his ability to strike the ball out of the park and provide a couple of overs with his off-breaks.

He has a massive strike rate of 161.13 in the IPL, having scored 1,397 runs and clinched 16 wickets to his name. Maxwell's addition will be crucial for KXIP's middle-order depth in the next edition.

KXIP made one of the biggest steals in the IPL auction by signing the New Zealander James Neesham for ₹50 lakhs. Neesham has a strike rate of 137.6 in T20s with 112 wickets in 118 matches. He can prove to be a match-winner if KXIP uses his services on regular occasions.

KXIP signed Krishnappa Gowtham, who got traded from the Rajasthan Royals for the next season. Gowtham will be a regular feature for KXIP as a finisher and can bowl his four-overs quota with his off-spins.

While Deepak Hooda can come in as a substitution for a middle-order batsman, Chris Jordan is a modern-day T20 specialist who is a perfect replacement for Sheldon Cottrell if he gets injured in the side.

Harpreet Brar, Darshan Nalkande, Jagadeesha Suchith, and Tajinder Singh are the other all-rounders who could be handy on a given day with their all-round experience in the domestic circuit.

KXIP has aligned a decent set of all-rounders who could turn around matches in their favor on multiple occasions. The onus will be upon Glenn Maxwell and James Neesham to give them a notable breakthrough in the season.
