IPL 2020 CSK VS SRH: Will Piyush Chawla be able to cover up for Harbhajan Singh in IPL 2020?

Piyush Chawla is the third-highest wicket-taker in the IPL with 151 wickets to his name.

Piyush Chawla is an Indian cricketer and has represented various IPL teams over the years including Kings XI Punjab. Ahead of the 2020 season of the IPL he was picked by CSK and made his debut for the MS Dhoni-led side. CSK did not have the best start of the season as earlier they had 13 members of the squad who tested COVID-19 positive. They also had senior players Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh drop out of the season due to personal reasons.

The franchise has only had 1 win so far and will be looking for wins soon before it’s too late. With the absence of their star spinner Harbhajan Singh, the management will be hopeful that Piyush Chawla can do the job for the team. While in the opener of the season Chawla moved to the third place to become the third-highest wicket-taker removing Harbhajan Singh. Piyush Chawla now has 151 wickets to his name.
