Krisnappa Gowtham (KXIP):
A street-cricket prodigy is regarded as one of the most devastating cricketers in the domestic games. Following the footsteps of his idol, Harbhajan Singh, the Karnataka player has not only emerged as a terrific bowler but is also a threatening lower-order cricketer.
The strong match-finisher is now regarded as the T20 specialist in the domestic games for his firm ability to finish the game for his team. His 11-ball 33 for his previous franchise, Rajasthan Royals, in the match against Mumbai Indians in 2018 is still a fresh memory. The off-spinner has played 56 twenty-overs domestic games and plucked 36 wickets along with decent 521 runs.
In his IPL debut for RR in 2018, Krishnappa Gowtham has played 15 matches. He has scored 126 runs while taking 11 wickets for his team.
However, the off-spinning allrounder was traded by the Royals ahead of the IPL 2019 to the Kings XI Punjab. With him being in his prime form, the 31-year-old cricketer makes him a lethal weapon for KXIP for the IPL 2020.
