3 Players who can replace Eoin Morgan at KKR in IPL 2021
Eoin Morgan is an invaluable asset for KKR as he contributed both as a batsman and a leader.
3. Thisara Perera
The lack of interest among the IPL franchises regarding Sri Lanka’s former captain Thisara Perera is quite surprising. The all-rounder boasts of having one of the best strike rates in the shortest format of the game and comes with the added advantage of playing the role of a sixth bowling option for the team. The 32-year-old also has experience of over a decade in the international circuit and can assist the captain in leadership duties.
Perera featured in 84 T20 Internationals in his cricket career scoring a whopping 1204 runs at an average of 23.1 and an impressive strike rate of 151.6. The all-rounder has also picked 51 scalps at an average of 33.7. The Sri Lanka veteran made his debut in IPL in the 2010 edition and has represented franchises like Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
He has played a total of 37 IPL matches from 2010 to 2016 scoring 422 runs at an average of 19.2 and strike rate of 137.4. The 32-year-old also has 31 IPL wickets under his belt at an average of 32.8 and an economy rate of 8.73.
