5 Players CSK should release ahead of IPL 2021 season

2. Piyush Chawla

The Uttar-Pradesh tweaker Piyush Chawla holds a rare potential to show the scoreboard with his flighted deliveries. The flamboyant cricketer plied his trade for the yellow brigade after serving his duty for Kolkata Knight Riders for many years. The match-winner could not weather the storm of the opposition in the 13th season resulting in his inevitable dropping from the playing XI.

Not living up to his standards, the spinner could muster only 6 wickets at the expense of 191 runs. Adding to his woes was his abysmal economy of 9.09. Under different circumstances in the torrid UAE atmosphere, Piyush found it difficult to get into the rhythm from the word go.

With experience over youth philosophy not working anymore, the ageing cricketer is expected to be up for grabs in the upcoming auction. Eventually, the yellow outfit must be roping in a spinner who can fill the huge boots of the cricketing stalwart.
