IPL 2020: 3 Players KKR shouldn't have released
These names could've made some difference for the Knights in the forthcoming season.
Piyush Chawla
Piyush Chawla may not have furrowed eyebrows with his jaw-dropping performances, but has silently kept performing. In 157 IPL matches, he has 150 wickets at an economy of 7.82. Barring the 2017 season where he played on 6 games, the tweaker has picked up 10 or more wickets every other time.
In the last three seasons, Chawla’s economy rate was in the 8s, but that’s because he operated in the powerplay. Even last time when Kuldeep Yadav had a disastrous season, the leg-spinner was at par with Narine, KKR’s go-to-spinner. Both Chawla and Narine picked up 10 wickets.
Chawla has lost a bit of bite in his bowling without a doubt, yet he hasn’t run out of his ability to pick up wickets at crucial junctures. In 2014, KKR roped him in at INR 425 lakhs and he ended with 66 wickets for them in 70 contests. KKR even used the RTM for him in 2018.
