KKR's Mandeep Singh Strikes Out? Sunil Gavaskar Calls Foul on Franchise Choices!

     In the recent showdown between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders at the iconic Eden Gardens, KKR's Mandeep Singh faced a crushing defeat, getting dismissed for a duck by RCB's David Willey.

 

      As a commentator during the match, ex-Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar expressed his dissatisfaction with Mandeep Singh's performance, criticizing the Punjab-born batter for not justifying his spot on the team and seemingly relying on finding a franchise despite underwhelming performances.

 

      Following Mandeep Singh's dismissal by David Willey, Sunil Gavaskar didn't hold back, and expressed his disappointment with the batter's performance, citing that Mandeep has struggled to prove his worth and secure a spot in the team.

 

      Mandeep Singh, who was bought by KKR for the IPL 2023 season at his base price of INR 50 lakh, unfortunately, finds himself holding an unfavorable record in the league. With his recent dismissal resulting in a duck, Mandeep now holds the distinction of having the highest number of ducks in the history of the Indian Premier League.

 

     Having previously shared the top spot with Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik, Mandeep Singh now holds the record for the most ducks (14) in the history of the IPL. Despite playing 110 matches and accumulating 1694 runs with an average of 20.91 and a strike rate over 124, along with six fifty-plus scores, Mandeep's recent match against Punjab Kings resulted in a meager score of just two runs.

 

     The upcoming battle for Kolkata Knight Riders is against the reigning champions, Gujarat Titans, set to take place on April 9 (Sunday) at the esteemed Narendra Modi Stadium.
