Kolkata Knight Riders are one of the most prominent teams in IPL because of their consistent run in the tournament. Especially their two title-winning campaigns in 2012 and 2014 are the high points of their tourney. Even the star-cast associated with the franchise has gained them a lot of followers. Throughout the years various elite cricketing talents have donned the Purple jersey. One of them is the UP cricketer Piyush Chawla who has been an integral part of the team for the last 6 years.

The leg-spinner is one of the few players who has played more than 150 games in this league. He has also taken 150 wickets in the tournament. However, Chawla has not been at his best in the last couple of seasons. He has been baggage for the Kolkata team with his inconsistent outings. Also, his wicket-taking abilities have fallen off the cliff which has affected the team adversely. So the franchise should consider other suitable options who can replace him before the next edition.

Here is the list of 5 players who can replace Piyush Chawla in KKR

What happens if a cricketer signs a franchise agreement ahead of a central contract? Most probably he will never represent his national team again but in the case of Hayden Walsh Jr. things have panned out quite differently. The former United States player is on the verge of making his debut for the Caribbean team.

The reason being his breathtaking spells in the recently concluded CPL. He scalped 22 wickets in 9 games and powered his team Barbados Tridents to their second title. Within a month the leg-spinner has become a sensation in the cricketing community and very soon his name will be the most discussed one in the T20 leagues around the globe.

Especially in the IPL where the biggest superstars of the game ply their trade. After his recent heroics, Walsh is expected to get good bids in the upcoming IPL auctions and the franchise which should keep a close eye on him is Kolkata. Walsh can reduce the burden of Sunil Narine who has been carrying the bowling unit of Knight Riders in the past 7 years. If needed he can also lead their spin department, unlike Piyush Chawla who struggles to fulfill that role in the absence of Narine.

In the last couple of seasons, the KKR team has faced bowling dilemmas regularly. Even their star performers Sunil Narine and Kuldeep Yadav have failed to keep up with the demands. That&#8217;s why the franchise needs to reboot its bowling strategies by including a fresh talent in the squad. The Maharastra cricketer, Satyajeet Bachhav can be their best bet.

The left-arm spinner has been stacking up impressive performances in the domestic circuit. With 20 victims in 11 encounters, he was the highest wicket-taker in the 2019 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Moreover, his stunning economy rate of 6.09 proved that he is a potential match-winner on any given day.

Satyajeet is a bold cricketer as he deceives the batsmen with his flight and always looks for wickets irrespective of the situation of the game. His attacking approach can be the required tonic for the Kolkata team. Even though Piyush Chawla has controlled the run-flow he has not been able to take wickets at crucial times which has hampered the team&#8217;s plans. So its time that the franchise replaces him with a wicket-taking option like Bachhav in the middle-overs.

Sometimes numbers don&#8217;t justify the evaluability of a cricketer and the prime example is Chris Green&#8217;s career. The Australian cricketer is one of the finest white-ball talents going around the world. Especially in the last two years, the off-spinner has been a regular name in various T20 leagues. Till now he has played 75 T20s in which he has bagged 62 wickets.

At first, those numbers might not seem monumental but his contributions have been as important as the star players of his side. It&#8217;s his economy rate of 6.72 which makes him the box-office in this format. That too by bowling in the powerplays which is considered one of the most difficult times for a spinner to operate. Even in CPL 2019, his economy rate of 6.44 was one of the reasons why Guyana Amazan Warriors looked invincibles.

Green has been effective with his craft and his track record suggests the same. That&#8217;s why the Kolkata franchise should bag him in the 2020 IPL auctions as he can help them solve their new-ball problems. Right now the team is overly dependent on Sunil Narine&#8217;s exploits so they need an experienced campaigner like Chris to compliment him. By including the off-spinner in the playing XI, Narine can attack in the middle-overs which is not possible in the presence of Piyush Chawla.

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 <a href="https://business.facebook.com/CricTrackerIndia/photos/a.1646074219013839/2536931136594805/?type=3&amp;theater" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>IPL 2020</strong></a>. 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.

When a cricketer generates mindboggling figures of 6/19 in an IPL game he is supposed to be a star in the league. However, it has not been the case for Adam Zampa as he has failed to attract a buyer in most of the IPL auctions. The Australian leggie is his country&#8217;s frontline spinner in limited-overs cricket and has a decent track record.

Earlier in the year, he played a crucial role when the Kangaroos won the bilateral series in India and UAE respectively. As far as his T20 record is concerned Zampa has also played close to 127 games in which he has scalped 139 wickets. What&#8217;s more impressive his control which is evident from his economy rate of 7.2. Even in the 2018-19 <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/bbl-big-bash-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>BBL</strong></a>, he showed his class with 14 wickets for Melbourne Stars.

Though Zampa is not a big turner of the ball he has the skillset to outfox any batting group. That&#8217;s why the Kolkata team can consider him as one of their weapons going ahead in their IPL journey. He can play the perfect second fiddle to Sunil Narine. Also, he can deliver match-winning spells consistently. He has enough variations in his armory, unlike Piyush Chawla who relies mostly on his googlies to take the wickets.

<p>When a cricketer generates mindboggling figures of 6/19 in an IPL game he is supposed to be a star in the league. However, it has not been the case for Adam Zampa as he has failed to attract a buyer in most of the IPL auctions. The Australian leggie is his country&#8217;s frontline spinner in limited-overs cricket and has a decent track record.</p>
<p>Earlier in the year, he played a crucial role when the Kangaroos won the bilateral series in India and UAE respectively. As far as his T20 record is concerned Zampa has also played close to 127 games in which he has scalped 139 wickets. What&#8217;s more impressive his control which is evident from his economy rate of 7.2. Even in the 2018-19 <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/bbl-big-bash-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>BBL</strong></a>, he showed his class with 14 wickets for Melbourne Stars.</p>
<p>Though Zampa is not a big turner of the ball he has the skillset to outfox any batting group. That&#8217;s why the Kolkata team can consider him as one of their weapons going ahead in their IPL journey. He can play the perfect second fiddle to Sunil Narine. Also, he can deliver match-winning spells consistently. He has enough variations in his armory, unlike Piyush Chawla who relies mostly on his googlies to take the wickets.</p>

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.
