Piyush Chawla has emerged to be one of the vital assets for the 5 times champions in the IPL 2023. The leg spinner has taken 9 wickets in just 6 matches. His average below 18 is impressive as well. Mumbai Indians have won 3 games out of 6, and today’s win against Gujarat will make it better for Mumbai.
Piyush Chawla’s bowling in the middle overs makes it difficult for batsmen to score boundaries. The 34-year-old bowler was brought into the Mumbai side for just 50 Lakhs.
He is the leading wicket-taker for Mumbai Indians this season. Piyush Chawla was the commentator for IPL 2022 and now is leading the charge for Mumbai Indians.
Going into the second half of the tournament, Mumbai will need pacers to do well to book the playoffs berth. Former Indian Cricketer Irfan Pathan said Piyush Chawla will play a crucial role for Mumbai Indians in lifting their 6th title.

“Piyush Chawla is MI’s best bowler. He is showing all his experience and bowling in the right areas. Mumbai need to back him and for MI to do well, Chawla will have to be the highest wicket-taker in the IPL,” Irfan Pathan said while speaking on Star Sports Cricket Live.
The Googly Piyush Chawla comes as a surprise for many batsmen and that is the go-to delivery for Piyush Chawla. Piyush Chawla is among the highest wicket-taking spinners in IPL. It seems players like Rahane, Ishant Sharma and Piyush Chawla are having a redemption season this year.
With the absence of Bumrah, it becomes even more important for other pacers to step up and contribute to the side. Jofra is also struggling with a minor injury, MI will need to find a solution to an experienced Indian pacer in the absence of Bumrah.
