Kings XI Punjab
Kings XI Punjab had a horrible season last year. They managed only 4 wins out of their 14 encounters. Despite this they have retained most of their players and released only 4 players in the auction pool.
With a strong batting line up and an experienced bowling line-up the Kings are expected to play much better in this year’s edition. With the most money of any side going into IPL Auction 2017, they certainly have the cash to go for the players that they need.
Players Retained:Â David Miller, Manan Vohra, Axar Patel, Murali Vijay, Glenn Maxwell, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Anureet Singh, Sandeep Sharma, Shardul Thakur, Shaun Marsh, Wriddhiman Saha, Nikhil Naik, Mohit Sharma, Marcus Stoinis, KC Cariappa, Armaan Jaffer, Pardeep Sahu, Swapnil Singh, Hashim Amla.
Released players:Â Mitchell Johnson, Rishi Dhawan, Kyle Abbott, Farhaan Behardien
