IPL 2020: 3 players who could be surplus to KKR

#1 Sandeep Warrier

Sandeep Warrier

The Kerala pacer, Sandeep Warrier went unsold in IPL auction 2019 despite his valour efforts to power Kerala to the semi-final spot in the Ranji Trophy season 2018/19. But he was included in KKR's setup, just days before the IPL in 2019 as a back-up for the injured young speedster Kamlesh Nagarkoti. The 27-year old got an opportunity to feature in three games in 2019 but didn't impress a lot with two wickets as he went wicketless on two occasions. However, Warrier was retained by the franchise ahead of the IPL auction 2020.

With the return of Shivam Mavi and Kamlesh Nagarkoti as two potent Indian fast bowlers, Warrier might have to pull a rabbit out of a hat before the start of the season in order to push his case for a selection ahead of the other two young pacers. KKR have generally gone in with Prasidh Krishna as their first-choice Indian seam bowler and it seems that Warrier might be seen warming the benches for the entire course in IPL 2020.
