death bowling credentials of the Tasmanian quickie are widely proven — Bin Laughlin has widely proven death bowling credentials

One Aussie in place of the other, how’s that for a replacement! Ben Laughlin is the all-time leading wicket-taker in the BBL.

He currently plays for Adelaide Strikers and finished among top five bowlers in the last edition of the Australian league.

Considering that KKR has a lot of young pacers like Shivam Mavi and Kamlesh Nagarkoti in their ranks, the 35-year-old Laughlin can lend some balance to the Dinesh Karthik led side with his experience.

Also, the death bowling credentials of the Tasmanian quickie are widely proven. He would form a deadly death bowling pair with fellow Australian Mitchell Starc.
