IPL 2023: 5 best comebacks of 16th edition
The 16th edition of the Indian Premier League witnessed a lot of remarkable comebacks from players who had fallen into oblivion.
1. Piyush Chawla
This year, Mumbai Indians’ (MI) dismal bowling performance cost them the entire season. Their premier bowlers Jason Behrendorff and Jofra Archer were not up to the mark but one player that remained effective with the ball throughout the tournament was their leg-spinner, Piyush Chawla.
Spearheading the spin attack from the front, the veteran became the leading wicket-taker for his team with 22 wickets in 16 games, at an economy of 8.11. In MI’s first win of IPL 2023, Chawla played an essential role with his 3/22 bowling figures against Delhi Capitals (DC), at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
His tremendous bowling display against Capitals gave him a lot of confidence and in the next match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Wankhede Stadium, he became the most economical bowler for his team, grabbing 1/19 figures in his four overs. Earlier, MI reserved his services at IPL 2023 auction in December, for INR 50 lakh only.
