What to expect from IPL Mega Auction 2022 ??

Hello Guys,

Indian Premier League is all set to witness a huge change.

While we’re accustomed to see the 8-Team format, now we’ll be witnessing how 10 Teams will compete against each other in world’s biggest cricket league.

It’s pretty obvious that players and teams will have to find ways to face this pretty new challenge and overcome it in the 15th edition of Indian Premier League.

So what can we expect from the Mega Auction this year??

Let’s have a look….

1. Emergence of New Leaders

It’s probably the first time in IPL when there are so many vacant captaincy positions.

Teams like RCB, KKR and KXIP are still looking to invest in players who can captain their side.

While Mayank Agarwal can lead the KXIP team, RCB is looking for a new leader as Virat Kohli has resigned as the captain.

Hardik Pandya also has got a chance to showcase his leadership skills at the biggest stage leading the Ahmedabad Team while KL Rahul will now lead the Lucknow Team.

Not just captains, teams are also looking for global players who can bring enough experience in the dugout.

2. More exposure to domestic talent

In the recent past we’ve seen a number of talented players consistently performing at the domestic level but still not getting enough games in the IPL.

Someone as good as Kuldeep Yadav hasn’t got enough games in the last two seasons.

While a lot of promising pacers like Khaleel Ahmed, Ishan Porel, Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Kartik Tyagi are looking for their opportunities.

Young guns like Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Venkatesh Iyer have been retained by their franchisees considering the fact that there would a huge competition on the auction table due to the addition of two new bidders.

Top 5 Picks for the mega auction :

1. Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer has proved his potential as the leader of Delhi Capitals.

Delhi Capitals performed consistently under him and were the runner ups as well in the 2020 Edition.

His temperament as a batsman is terrific and can make him the best buy of the mega auction.

2. Yuzvendra Chahal

India’s leading spinner and RCB‘s proven match winner Yuzvendra Chahal hasn’t been retained and can actually come out as the biggest game changer out of this auction.

Multiple teams will be interested in Chahal considering what he’s achieved with his leg spin in the last few years both for RCB and Indian Team.

3. Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar has been in sublime form for the last couple of years.

Even though he’s not a regular T-20 batsman for Team India now but still he’s won matches single-handedly for Delhi Capitals.

His hunger for big scores sets him apart from most other young Indian batsman. He’s got a couple of tons too in IPL.

4. David Warner

David Warner is one of the most successful captain in the history of IPL. He’s main the reason behind the success and consistent performance of Sunrisers Hyderabad.

His stats as a batsman are quite terrific and hence teams will bid for him as someone who can lead from the front.

5. Shardul Thakur

There isn’t a single task in Indian Cricket that Shardul Thakur can’t perform.

He’s bowling well in tests and shorter formats. His batting is solid and can get some quick runs as well whenever needed.

Shardul Thakur is a complete package for any franchise, a rare pace-bowling all-rounder in the Indian Team and hence will be a great addition to any team.

His stats are tremendous in the last couple of years and his experience of getting he IPL trophy with the Chennai Super Kings will always take him forward.

There are a lot of other promising guys like Ishan Kishan, Deepak Chahar, Rahul Chahar, Krunal Pandya, Kagiso Rabada and Quinton de Kock who’ve consistently performed over years for their respective franchisees.

Let’s see which players will go on to be the big buys this season…..
