One player each team could regret buying at IPL Auction 2020

#7 Varun Chakravarthy (Kolkata Knight Riders)

Varun Chakravarthy has been out of action due to his long term injury

Varun Chakravarthy made headlines in the IPL 2019 auctions when Kings 11 Punjab splashed INR 8.4 cr for the services of the mystery spinner. However, things did not go according to plan and Chakravarthy played just one game in the tournament before getting injured. His only spell in the tournament wasn't a one to remember as well. In 3 overs, he gave away 35 runs and managed to take just a single wicket.

In the recently concluded IPL auctions, KKR went big on Varun and spent INR 4 cr on the rookie bowler. KKR already has Sunil Narine and Kuldeep Yadav in their ranks, thus, Chakravarthy will find it difficult to play ahead of those two. KKR's home track was relayed in 2016 and since then it has been assisting the seamers more than the spinners. The 28-year-old will find it difficult to make his mark on such a seamer-friendly wicket, and INR 4 cr is a huge price to pay for a player who is yet to prove his mettle at the highest level. Since the injury, Varun Chakravarthy has not played cricket regularly at a competitive level as well. The Kolkata Knight Riders might regret taking such a big risk.

#6 Chris Morris (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Morris has had a huge decline in his recent performances

The Royal Challengers Bangalore splashed INR 10 cr for the services of Chris Morris in the recently concluded IPL auctions. Morris used to be one of the top all-rounders in the league in the 2016 season when he scored 195 runs in 12 matches batting lower down the order. Along with the runs, Morris took 13 wickets at an economy of just 7.00. His performance that season earned him a mega-contract in the 2017 season as he was one of the 3 players that were retained by the Delhi Capitals. However, since then, it has gone downhill for the South-African all-rounder.

In the last two seasons, Morris has scored just 78 runs in 13 league games. To make things worse, the Chinnaswamy stadium is known for high scoring matches and thus Morris might struggle to make his mark with the ball. His recent performances have shown that the 30-year-old is going through a decline in form and 10cr might be too big a sum for him.
