IPL 2020: 5 players who might be released due to their high price tag ahead of the auction

#3 Carlos Brathwaite (Kolkata Knight Riders)

Carlos Brathwaite rose to fame when he struck those famous four consecutive sixes against England to clinch the ICC T20 World Cup trophy in 2016. Since then, he has played in various T20 leagues around the world. At one stage, he was even made the captain of the West Indies T20 team.

Over the years, Brathwaite has become a permanent fixture in IPL and represented various IPL teams. KKR bought him for a considerable sum of INR 5 crore in last year's IPL auction. He was supposed to play the back-up role for his countrymate Andre Russell.

Brathwaite managed to play only two games in IPL 2019. In both matches, he failed to make any significant contribution with both the bat and ball. Even though he has got the opportunity to play only for fewer games, we can expect Brathwaite to be released by KKR due to his high price tag.
