Piyush Chawla had earlier lamented that there are not many wrist spinners in the IPL.

“Every team wants wrist-spinners in this format because while most bowlers go for runs, wrist-spinners are the attacking options that will give you a breakthrough. I think you aren’t seeing many wrist spinners because there aren’t many in domestic cricket. Youngsters want to probably bat or bowl quick and very few want to become wrist spinners," Chawla had told Sportskeeda.
