Pawan Negi was once labelled a gun all-rounder for his all-round skills. While Pawan Negi could not touch the heights as expected, he remains a handy cricketer and is particularly a brilliant fielder. The left-arm spinner produced three wickets in seven matches in 2019; however, managed only nine runs. With Washington Sundar finding enormous success in IPL 2020, the management did not see the importance of bringing in Pawan Negi.
