{{Main|List of 2020 Indian Premier League personnel changes}}
[[File: Glenn Maxwell.jpg|thumb|In the 2017 season, Maxwell scored 310 runs in 14 matches. His best year so far has been with KXIP in 2014, when he single-handedly took the KXIP to the final.]]
The Kings XI Punjab retained 14 players and released seven players.<ref>{{cite web|title=KKR release Chris Lynn, Robin Uthappa; RCB let go of several overseas names|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/28085381/kkr-release-chris-lynn-robin-uthappa-rcb-let-go-several-overseas-names|access-date=15 November 2019|date=15 November 2019|publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> On 7 November 2019, KXIP traded [[Ravichandran Ashwin]] to [[Delhi Capitals]] for Rs 1.5 crore and Karnataka spinner [[Jagadeesha Suchith]], ending a series of intense negotiations over the Indian spinner's IPL future.

===Auction===

KXIP went in the auction with a purse of 42.70 Cr INR which was higher than any other team. KXIP had 16 players in front of the IPL 2020 Auction, and their significant hole was the all-rounders players. For that, KXIP purchased [[Glenn Maxwell]] for an incredible INR 1075L, and [[James Neesham]] and Deepak Hooda for just INR 50L. Their other costly purchases incorporate [[Sheldon Cottrell]] and [[Chris Jordan (cricketer)|Chris Jordan]] for INR 850L and INR 300L separately.

'''Players bought:''' [[Glenn Maxwell]], [[Deepak Hooda]], [[James Neesham]], [[Prabhsimran Singh]], [[Chris Jordan (cricketer)|Chris Jordan]], [[Tajinder Singh|Tanjinder Dhillon]], [[Ravi Bishnoi]], [[Ishan Porel]], [[Sheldon Cottrell]].

===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 [[Chris Gayle|Gayle]]. Or by bidding higher for [[Chris Morris (cricketer)|Chris Morris]] in the auction, the team could have added him as well."<ref>{{cite web |title=IPL auction analysis: Do the eight teams have their best XIs in place?| url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/28338426/do-eight-teams-their-best-xis-place|website=ESPN}}</ref>
