Team-wise one star bowler who may have to leave his team if the mega auction happens ahead of IPL 2021
Franchises may have to make the tough calls of letting some of their star bowlers go.
4. Pat Cummins- Kolkata Knight Riders
The Australian pacer Pat Cummins was the most expensive buy of the IPL 2020 auction at INR 15.5 crore. The Kolkata based franchise bought him for this price but he failed to perform for them to his ability especially with the ball in his hand.
Cummins has taken 6 wickets in 11 matches at an economy of 7.82. While he has done well to control the flow of runs in the power play overs, he hasn’t got a lot of wickets. He has been good with the bat, scoring 131 runs at a strike-rate of 127.18.
The Kolkata franchise has a pretty ordinary season so far with just 6 wins in their 5 games standing in the fifth position of the points table. The Knights may not regret leaving him out considering his price tag and the other foreign options in case of a mega auction.
