Arshin Kulkarni (LSG): Uncapped Pace Bowler With No Tracked T20 Data
Arshin Kulkarni is a pace bowler in LSG's squad with no WAR/M, Ecae, or phase split data in the model's database. His xImpact of 43 is the model's best estimate of his potential contribution based on limited information, but without ball-by-ball records, no meaningful statistical profile can be generated. He does not appear in the optimal XII.
Why He Misses the XII
LSG's pace bowling slots are filled by Shami, Akash Singh, Mayank Yadav, and Mohsin Khan. Without tracked T20 data, Kulkarni cannot compete for any of those spots on a statistical basis.
What This Means for IPL 2026
Kulkarni is a developmental pick. His pace bowling offers a potential long-term asset, but he needs tracked T20 appearances before the model can evaluate his impact. He is unlikely to feature unless multiple pace options are unavailable.
