5 players KXIP can target to fill their overseas slots in IPL 2021 auction
Double super overs, consecutive wins, and many more exciting moments enabled Punjab to become the most entertaining team of the last season.
4. Sheldon Cottrell
Sheldon Cottrell is one of the finest fast bowlers for the West Indies team. His pace and ability to swing the ball both ways have enabled him to become successful at the international level. He can bowl during the powerplay and late in the death overs. However, he had a poor IPL season last year, as he could not make it into the playing eleven for most of the season. As a result, the management has decided that they should release the West Indies pacer.
Cottrell has a superb T20I record. In 30 T20I matches, he has taken 37 wickets with the best bowling figure of 4/28. Apart from that, an economic rate of 7.9 speaks about his ability to remain calm under pressure. Well, this does not happen very often as he was smashed by Rahul Tewatia during the penultimate over of a thriller game!
As there is a space in the KXIP squad for an overseas pacer, the best option for them will be Cottrell. On his day, Cottrell can turn the game upside down. He can be a valuable addition to the KXIP squad.
