Not many do remember that Krishnappa Gowtham was bought for INR 6.4 Crore last season or that he was a part of the side this season. His contributions haven’t gone unnoticed, they just haven’t come from the 32-year old all-rounder from Karnataka.

Gowtham played 7 matches to pick up only 1 wicket bowling his off-spin and scoring just 18 runs, stats which aren’t worthy of a player of his supposed calibre. With the advent of 17-year old Riyan Parag who exceeded expectations, Gowtham’s place in the side was lost and with Shreyas Gopal in the form of his life, another spinner wasn’t needed by the side and hence he was dropped.
The team will be looking for fresh talent after a poor season and sadly, Gowtham doesn’t have age on his side and is likely to be released by the team.
