IPL 2019: One uncapped player each team should release ahead of the Auction

#6 Shivam Mavi - Kolkata Knight Riders

Shivam Mavi

Shivam Mavi came into the limelight when he troubled the opposition with his pace when he played for India in the U-19 World Cup 2018. His impressive performances in the U-19 World Cup earned him an IPL contract with Kolkata Knight Riders, who bought him for Rs. 3 crores. But, he could not live up to the expectations as he failed to replicate his U-19 World Cup performances.

During the last season of IPL, Mavi featured in 9 games and could manage only 5 wickets at an average of 54 and at a huge economy of 9.64. The chances of releasing him from the squad are too high and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) should release him ahead of the auction to invest the money on someone who can pick the wickets at a regular interval.
