Kings XI Punjab- Overspending on some players
The Kings XI Punjab signed the youngster Varun Chakravarthy for 8.4 crores after a fierce bidding war in the room. With Ravichandran Ashwin and Mujeeb ur Rahman already in their squad, there is hardly any room for a third spinner in the XI.
Also, Ashwin is not in contention for India's World Cup squad and hence picking his backup might turn out to be unnecessary. It was unwise on the part of the Kings XI Punjab to spend such a gigantic amount on Varun Chakravarthy.
The KXIP bought Sam Curran for a whopping figure of 7.2 crores even though he might feature for England at the 2019 World Cup and hence might miss more than half of the tournament.
England are also playing an ODI series against Pakistan starting from May 5, 2019, and hence Curran's participation in the tournament might be further cut short.
