IPL 2023: 5 Players Punjab Kings might release ahead of mini-auction
Punjab Kings faced yet another disappointing campaign in IPL 2022 as they finished sixth on the points table with seven wins in 14 games.
4. Ishan Porel
Ishan Porel has been one of the shining stars in the Bengal cricketing circles and has established himself as an all-format bowler in the domestic arena. Talking about his T20 record, the 24-year-old has played 22 matches and picked up 30 wickets at an economy of 6.71.
Punjab Kings who had drafted Porel into their side for the 2021 season, decided to reinvest in the pacer and bought him at this year’s mega auction. However, the Bengal pacer could not get even a single game and had to warm the bench for the entire season.
Punjab struggled to find an Indian pace option who could partner Arshdeep Singh and Kagiso Rabada with the ball. Despite the third-seamer woes, the management did not give Porel a go. This could indicate that Mayank Agarwal & co. are not yet convinced with the skill sets that the youngster brings to the table. Hence, one can see PBKS releasing the Hooghly-born ahead of the upcoming mini-auction.
