"Piyush Chawla's Wicket-taking Software Amazing": Harbhajan Singh Showers Praise On MI Spinner

Ahead of the second qualifier match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians, former Indian bowler Harbhajan Singh praised MI's Piyush Chawla and said he has an amazing "wicket-taking software". In another high-voltage encounter, Lucknow Super Giants will take on Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday. When the two teams met last time in IPL 2023, LSG triumphed over the five-time champions.

Mumbai Indians will be aiming to return the favour this time around and settle the score.

The Chepauk track is traditionally known to aid spinners. LSG and MI have quality spin bowlers in their ranks and all eyes will be on the veteran MI spinner Piyush Chawla.

Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh has hailed the 34-year-old leg-spinner.

"Piyush Chawla's wicket-taking software is amazing. This guy is awesome. He has troubled the veterans of every team with his spin. I am very happy for this player because, in the last season, he was not considered useful by any team. This season it has told every team that there is no replacement for experience. There is no match for this player," Singh said on Star Sports' Cricket Live.

Former India cricketer Mohammed Kaif also lavished praise upon the leg-spinner from Uttar Pradesh for doing the bulk of the damage for his team in this competition.

"Chawla has taken half of the wickets that Mumbai has taken so far. This is a champion bowler. As if taking wickets on the very first ball in every match has become his habit. Chawla has proved that there is no substitute for experience. He has stability in his deliveries and has been impressive on all types of wickets. His impact this season has been solid."
