Dhawal Kulkarni has been a Royals faithful for a long time but his time with the side seems to be coming to an end after his dismal outing in IPL 2019. The right-arm medium-pacer was able to pick up only 6 wickets from 10 games and leaked runs at will bowling with an economy rate of 9.57.

Despite being given a lot of opportunities in spite of his failures, Kulkarni wasn't able to find his rhythm and after a confident start in the side's first game, his performances slowly started to deteriorate. Pacers like Varun Aaron should've been provided with more opportunities and RR will regret their choice to give Kulkarni a longer run than he deserved.
They have quite a large roster of young players and with players like Oshane Thomas in their side, Kulkarni might find his way out of the side.
