Krishnappa Gowtham’s IPL Performance

Since Gowtham has bagged such a hefty price, one will be naturally curious to know about his past performance in the IPL. So, let’s talk about it.

• IPL 2020

He played a couple of matches for KXIP and managed to take just a wicket. His economy was also relatively high (10.50 runs per over).

• IPL 2019

In this season, he took only one wicket in seven matches. Although, the economy was somewhat better and it stood at 8.30.

As we can see, his performance isn’t that impressive. Now some of you may ask…

Then why did he fetch such a high price?

A bidding war is an answer to this question. When many teams coincidentally plan to buy a particular player, it is natural that there will be a bidding war. In this process, to secure the player, the price keeps on getting more and more.

This doesn’t mean that he is not an able cricketer. It’s just that this is what happened at the IPL auctions. Most of the players who fetched high prices (except well-known players like Maxwell) benefitted from bid wars.

What would Krishnappa Gowtham like to do in IPL 2021?

Of course, perform nicely and give a befitting reply to those who seem to think that he was bought at an overpriced price at the auctions.
