AARON FINCH

Aaron Finch led the Australian team brilliantly in the limited-overs format. The Aussie captain had excused himself from the 2019 IPL to keep his focus on Test career, but with that dream being cut short due to nonperformance, Finch is back in auction for the upcoming season.

IPL 2020: Kings XI Punjab will play all home games in Mohali, confirms KXIP CEO

He is a veteran of IPL having played for Delhi Daredevils, Gujarat Lions, Kings XI Punjab, Mumbai Indians, Pune Warriors, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad. His last outing in IPL was for KXIP and in total, he has scored 1737 runs in 75 matches at a strike rate of 130.69 and 13 half-centuries. Finch has also led Melbourne Renegades to the BBL title last season and is expected to captain Australia in the 2020 T20 World Cup.

He has led teams in IPL as well and overall has shown great leadership skills and if KXIP buys him in the auction and gives him the chance to captain the franchise, he is bound to give them positive results, with some degree of control over selections.
