Many young pacers earned the recognition by their performances in IPL 2022. However, few of them were ordinary and could not prove their talent and do well for the team. One of such pacer is Shivam Mavi, who has been a part of the KKR team since the 2018 season.

In the 2021 edition, Mavi had picked up 11 wickets in 10 appearances at a terrific economy of 7.24, and was touted to be the team’s key bowler in this edition as well. Mavi consistently gave away 30+ runs and could pick only four wickets in his first five matches.

In his sixth appearance against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Mavi was struck for 50 runs in four overs and could take only one wicket. In one of the overs, he gave 30 runs which included five sixes and was straightaway dropped from the team after that game. He did not feature in the the last three league matches for KKR. Hence, the team management is expected to avail the services of a different player to boost their fast bowling arsenal in the next season.
