IPL Auction 2017: 5 players Kings XI Punjab should look to buy

#3 Karn Sharma

Karn Sharma is a wicket taking leggie and could fit into Punjab's plans

An Indian discard, the leg spinner from Meerut is a handy bowler to have in a T20 squad. Sharma was released by Sunrisers Hyderabad and could find a suitable abode at Punjab, a team that needs a spinner to complement Axar Patel.

They have tried the likes of Shivam Sharma, Karanveer Singh, KC Cariappa and Pardeep Sahu in the past, but with limited success. In Karn Sharma, they will have an experienced spinner who could come at a bargain price in the auctions.

Wrist spinners are dominating world cricket at the moment and investing in the Meerut player could reap rich rewards for Punjab this season. Karn has 79 wickets in 98 T20 games with a best of 5/24 and an economy of 7.32, excellent in sub-continental conditions.
