3. Kolkata Knight Riders – Pat Cummins
Pat Cummins was a major disappointment for the Kolkata Knight Riders last season given the price he was bought for and the expectations he came with. He picked up just 12 wickets in 14 games, but the team management still kept the faith in him and retained him for the current season.
He hasn’t had a particularly bright start to this season either as he’s picked up just 4 wickets in five games while maintaining a poor economy rate of 9.17. The Australian was brilliant with the bat against the CSK, but they would obviously give a higher weightage to his performances with the ball.
At the moment, Andre Russell seems a pretty obvious choice when it comes to retention, but there is no clear candidate for the 2nd overseas spot. Given the fact that Cummins hasn’t done anything special, it seems unlikely that they will retain him at present.
