Team Analysis
ESPNcricinfo' wrote "Kings XI Punjab ensured that their playing eleven was completed By purchasing Glenn Maxwell and Sheldon Cottrell. On paper, this team's potential playing eleven looks very strong. The weak side of this team is its bench strength and bowling attack. Though Punjab had a lot of money left and the team could buy more players, but the team did not do so. The team also had the option of buying an opener as a backup for Gayle. Or by bidding higher for Chris Morris in the auction, the team could have added him as well."[5]
