5 players who can replace Piyush Chawla in KKR team for IPL 2020
These spinners have the capabilities to reignite the spark in the spin department of KKR and they can also be the perfect replacements for the under-performing Piyush Chawla.
4) Zahir Khan
The Kolkata team will be concerned with the performances of their bowling unit in the 2019 edition. Mainly the failure of their X-factor, Kuldeep Yadav as his poor returns handicapped their spin department. So the team should consider adding other spinners to their squad before the IPL 2020. Someone like Zahir Khan will be a good buy for them.
The Afghanistan tweaker has been making the right noises in his professional career. Recently he scalped 8 wickets for Jamaica Tallawahs in the 2019 CPL. Before that, the Chinaman weaved his magic in the T10 league as he bagged 8 wickets in the tournament. Also in 2019, Shpageeza Cricket League Zahir fished 7 wickets in 6 outings at an economy rate of 6.3.
He may not have the required experience but his raw talent is enough to surprise quality batting line-ups. On top of that, he can turn the ball even on good tracks like Eden Gardens which makes him a valuable asset. Though Piyush Chawla is only 30 its time for the KKR franchise to invest in other options as the UP cricketer has been off-color in his last two seasons. Moreover, Zahir can become the alpha wolf of their bowling pack in the near future.
