IPL Auction 2020: One Batsman who each team must look to sign

Kings XI Punjab- JP Duminy

Duminy has played for Delhi and MI in the IPL.

Kings XI Punjab has gone for an overhaul ahead of IPL 2020 and chose to let go of skipper Ravichandran Ashwin along with other players like Andrew Tye, David Miller, and Sam Curran. As a result, they have the biggest budget ahead of the auction and can address all the issues they had last season. One of the main issues they had last season was the lack of a strong No.4 or No.5 batsman to hold the innings together and to play the big shots when required.

And one player tailor-made for them is JP Duminy. The Proteas batting all-rounder has rediscovered his form in T20s and is in great space ahead of the auction. He led the Winnipeg Hawks to victory in Global T20 Canada with 332 runs from just 8 games averaging 83.00 and at a strike-rate of 167.67. He also did well in CPL 2019 scoring 285 runs at a good strike-rate of 136.61.

He has scored more than 2000 runs in the IPL and was an integral part of the Delhi Capitals before featuring for MI in 2018 where he was underused. He went unsold in the 2019 auction but has a lot of chances of securing a huge bid this time around.
