IPL 2020: 3 players who could be surplus to KKR

#2 Harry Gurney

Harry Gurney

The left-arm medium-pace bowler, Harry Gurney was bought by Kolkata in the IPL auction 2019 at a base price of INR 75 lakhs. The English quick did well in the T20 leagues around the globe and was rewarded for his ability to pick wickets and curb the flow of runs in the death overs. Gurney even played for KKR last year and was retained ahead of the auction this year. However, he wasn't as effective in Indian conditions and picked up seven wickets in his eight appearances. He was quite expensive and conceded runs at an economy of 8.81.

In IPL 2020, it is likely that Gurney might have very little or no role to play for the purple army. The inclusion of Pat Cummins and the presence of Lockie Ferguson in the mix as two potent pace options might close doors for the English cricketer to find a place in the XI. The team would prefer playing Narine and Andre Russell to complete the four overseas slots alongside Cummins and Ferguson.
