3 Players GT might release ahead of IPL 2023
Two of these players did not appear in any of the matches for GT in 2022.
2. Jayant Yadav
The off-spinner, Jayant Yadav has primarily been a handy bowler for the Indian team in the red-ball format. To date, he has featured in only 19 IPL matches and has been part of various squads since 2015, barring 2018. GT bought him for INR 1.70 crore, for his utility as a bowling all-rounder.
In the last few editions, he has been used for keeping the opposition batters tight in the powerplay overs. Although Yadav’s economy has been under eight, he does not have enough wickets under his belt, which is a differential skill against the players, who are ready to take your place in the team.
The 32-year-old spinner could not feature in any of the games in the 2022 season, with the team already having Rashid Khan as the first-choice spinner. The stand from the team management is quite clear, as they included left-arm spinner Sai Kishore later in the tournament. Kishore’s success might pave the way for Yadav to make an exit, come next season.
