NICHOLAS POORAN
Bought by KINGS XI PUNJAB for INR 4.2 cr
Nicholas Pooran made a big name for himself in the Caribbean Premier League and then in the recent T20I series when he scored a quick-fire fifty against India. Pooran has scored 1272 runs in 79 T20s with a strike rate of 141.01.
Kings XI Punjab used KL Rahul as the wicket-keeper for the IPL 2018 season, but buying Pooran gives them a brilliant wicketkeeper as well and a hitter that can play the role of the finisher, something that KXIP sorely missed in the previous edition.
