Kings XI Punjab who always start with very fresh but start losing in the middle and fight on for the top 4 spots in the last matches and then somehow gets knocked out.

Let us take you’ll to the Fantasy Playing XI you can create with the following tips:-
Wicket-Keeper
Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson are the options for RR and Rahul alongside Nicholas Pooran are the choices Punjab can use for keeping. We would go with Buttler since his form has been everlasting since last IPL as well as Kings XI Punjab. Although Rahul was also in a terrific form last season Buttler will be preferred on his International performances.
Batsman
Chris Gayle can create havoc for the bowlers and is the big entertainer for the crowd and also his recent form against England as he smashed them 424 runs in just 4 ODI’s. No team can drop Gayle. Our other two batsmen are from Rajasthan those are Rahul Tripathi and Steven Smith.
All-rounders
Krishnappa Gowtham the emerging player last season is going to have big eyes in the team and also finished off on many occasions and also strikes early wickets like he got Virat Kohli out in the virtual Quarter-Final. The other two are Ben Stokes and Moises Henriques.

Bowlers
Jofra Archer on his ability to stumble the batsman down the wicket and supported by spinners like Shreyas Gopal, Mueeb-Ur Rahman and the second bowling choice will be Mohammad Shami who had a good outing in ODI’s against Australia.
