Piyush Chawla has picked up 84 wickets for Kings XI Punjab
This is a surprising name. Yes, Kings XI Punjab have never had a settled line-up but Piyush Chawla’s name would take a few by surprise.

The Uttar Pradesh leg-spinner was a part of the Punjab franchise for six years (2008-2013). He played 89 matches for KXIP and took 84 wickets.
He remained an integral part of the Punjab franchise for the first three years before he was bought back by the franchise for a whopping $900,000 (9 times his base price).
After a poor 2013 season, Chawla was let go and was picked by Kolkata Knight Riders and he excelled under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir.
He will continue to be a part of KKR this year as well.
