Devastating South Africa batsman David Miller believes Kings XI Punjab have built a strong squad capable of winning its maiden Indian Premier League title this year.
The Punjab outfit, who have only once qualified for the knockout stage in the six editions of the event, made smart buys in the players auction of IPL 7 after retaining only Miller and 20-year-old uncapped Indian player Manan Vohra.
"It is exciting to have a different group of players. Overall, the squad looks more than capable to win the title. We have been training hard from the past four-five days and are getting to know each other," Miller told PTI from Abu Dhabi today on the eve of King XI's opening match against two-time champions Chennai Super Kings.
Miller, who made waves after smashing 101 off 38 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore last year, will play a key role in deciding the fortunes of Kings XI, which also have the likes of Virender Sehwag, Cheteshwar Pujara, Mitchell Johnson, Glen Maxwell and captain George Bailey.
Having all-rounders like Rishi Dhawan and Sri Lanka's Thisara Perera gives the Punjab side good options even though their spin department doesn't look as potent with 37-year-old Murali Kartik being their most experienced tweaker.
