IPL 2022: One player from previous season successfully replaced by franchises
Most of the teams have found ideal replacements for their star players from the previous IPL season.
6) Punjab Kings – Rahul Chahar for Ravi Bishnoi
Ravi Bishnoi has been one of the trending names in the T20 market. The Indian leg-spinner has picked up over 20 wickets over the course of two seasons, representing Punjab Kings. However, the franchise decided to retain just two players, excluding Bishnoi. There were several spinners up for grabs in the auction, but having an Indian spinner is always an added advantage, given that they are well acquainted with the conditions.
Punjab Kings replaced Ravi Bishnoi with former Mumbai Indians leg-spinner, Rahul Chahar. And so far, this move has reaped huge dividends. In four outings so far, Rahul Chahar has managed to pick up seven wickets at an average of just 14.42. He ran through Chennai Super Kings’ lower order, returning figures of three wickets for 25 runs in his four-over spell.
The 22-year-old has developed a more mature approach in regards to his bowling and has consistently kept the batter guessing.
