krishnappa gautam

Karnataka off-spinner Krishnappa’s selection of bowling all-rounder was shocking. He did not perform well in the recent domestic tournaments including the IPL. Krishnappa played just two matches in the IPL and took one wicket.

Varun Chakraborty

Varun has been a successful player of Kolkata. He took seven wickets in this season of IPL and 17 wickets in the 2020 season. But his fitness has proved to be a setback for him. Varun was selected for the Australia tour but had to withdraw due to injury. Although he did not disclose it.

Chetan Sakaria

Sakariya was selected ahead of Jaydev Unadkat. He was bought by Rajasthan Royals for 1.2 crores. Sakariya can be helpful for Team India and maybe he can get a place in the team.
