IPL 2020: 5 KXIP Players To Watch Out For

Another team that struggled in IPL 2021 was Punjab Kings. Their lack of a hard-hitting lower-order batsman has proved to be costly not just in the recent IPL, but also in the past. Although Moises Henriques was a decent addition to the squad last time around, someone like Faulkner could change the dynamics of the team. Faulkner, who has a good strike-rate of 135.48 in 60 IPL matches, is capable of turning things around in the death overs.

In the IPL 2021 auction, Punjab splurged a huge amount of money on Australian fast bowlers, Jhye Richardson and Riley Meredith. Their performances unfortunately have been very underwhelming. Hence, the addition of Faulkner would bolster not just their traditionally weak bowling attack, but also provide much-needed impetus to the lower-order batting.
