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

#2 Eoin Morgan

Morgan has been in fine nick in the Big Bash

Another Hyderabad discard, the England limited-overs skipper is as flamboyant as they come in the T20 format. Possessing a wide range of sweep and reverse sweep shots, the left-handed Morgan is a nightmare for bowlers when on song.

Morgan has a strong reputation in T20 circles built around some pretty decent statistics in the format. In 67 T20Is, Morgan has eight half-centuries and an average of 29.58. He made an impact as recently as in the 2016 Big Bash where he smacked Ben Hilfenhaus for a six off the final ball to guide his team to victory.

Kings XI Punjab have Miller and Maxwell in the middle order but Sehwag has been pretty vocal about including another established middle order batsman, and Morgan could fit in easily. Given that Miller may need to leave early, the England captain may be the fulcrum of the Punjab middle-order in the latter half of the season.
