Teenage spin sensation Rahul Chahar did not get a single opportunity at MI

#3 Ben Dwarshuis (Kings XI Punjab)

BBL - Sixers v Thunder — The Australian quick was not

The 23-year-old Australian fast bowler Ben Dwarshuis has had a good T20 career so far, which led Kings XI Punjab to splurge as much as INR 1.4 crores on him. However, he remains the only overseas option of Kings XI Punjab who did not get a chance to don the red jersey.

The man from Kareela, New South Wales, has a T20 career economy rate of just over 8 runs per over and an average of under 25. Though Andrew Tye did a phenomenal job for them, skipper Ravichandran Ashwin could have gone with two foreign pacers, especially when his foreign batters were not performing up to the mark.
