IPL 2019: 3 players who can replace the injured Anrich Nortje in the KKR squad

#2 Chris Jordan

Chris Jordan

Chris Jordan is one of the most underrated bowlers in T20 cricket. The Barbados-born has consistently performed for England in the shortest version of the game. He is particularly impressive in the death overs where he keeps a check on the batsmen with his wide range of variations and pin-point yorkers.

Most recently, he produced a spell of 4/6 to bundle out a power-packed West Indies lineup for 45. In 38 T20Is, the 30-year-old has 46 wickets in his bag. His economy rate of 8.16 is decent for a bowler who bowls mostly in the death overs. Jordan is also a power hitter down the order, plus a sharp outfield fielder.

Jordan has earlier played for Royal Challengers Bangalore, and last year he represented Sunrisers Hyderabad, but this year he went unsold in the auction. However, as Nortje has been ruled out due to injury, KKR can think of replacing him with the in-form Jordan.
