Kings XI Punjab bought a total of 9 players from the IPL 2020 auction with their total spend being INR 26.2 Cr in Kolkata.
The game that seemed to have pushed Glenn Maxwell towards depression has now fetched him a cool USD 1.51 million (Rs 10.75 crore) and probably given him a chance to pick up the pieces and start afresh.
Rahul was roped in by KXIP for a whopping INR 11 crores ahead of 2018 season.
Wasim Jaffer played only eight matches for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the inaugural edition of the IPL back in 2008.
As the auction for IPL 2020 season draws closer, we take a look at three players who could fit well in at Kings XI Punjab.
Ashwin also said that his IPL move to Delhi Capitals wasn't really something that he asked for.
For the record, KXIP had already pushed for Lucknow as their second home ahead of the 2019 edition of the cash-rich league.
November 15 marked the deadline day for all eight franchises of the IPL to extend their player contracts and a total of 127 players saw themselves being retained by their respective franchises, including 35 overseas players.
Miller went on to become one of the batting mainstays for Kings XI Punjab over the past eight seasons, scoring 1850 runs in 79 games at a strike rate of 138.78.
In the day full of surprise transfers, Mumbai Indians trade in Trent Boult earlier and now Kulkarni to boost their bowling attack.
R Ashwin's time with KXIP came to an end on Friday with the Delhi Capitals officially announcing a trade deal with Punjab involving Jagadeesha Suchith going the other way.
Ness Wadia, the co-owner of KXIP, has proposed that the Indian national anthem be played before every IPL game from the 2020 season.
Stylish opener KL Rahul is expected to lead the side after Ravichandran Ashwin's departure.
Ashwin was supposed to join Delhi Capitals earlier but once Anil Kumble came on board, it was learnt that KXIP weren't ready to release their senior bowler.
Anil Kumble resigned as India head coach after the 2017 Champions Trophy final due to an "untenable relationship" with skipper Virat Kohli.
Kumble, who has recently been appointed as the head coach of IPL franchise Kings XI Punjab for the impending IPL season next year, reckons that out-of-favour Test batsman Rahul is still a good T20I batsman and that he wants him to notch up match-winning performances in the format.
It has been learnt that the newly-appointed head coach Anil Kumble was also keen to retain Ashwin, who captained the side in the previous two editions.
Kumble has previously served as chief mentor with Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians in the past.
R Ashwin also attracted interest from Sunrisers Hyderabad but talks didn't materialise and Delhi Capitals have taken the lead ahead of others.
It is learnt that Ashwin will not only be stripped of his captaincy, but would be dropped altogether from the unit.
