Top 8 Players Expected to Perform in Tata IPL 2022

Tata IPL 2022 Mega Auctions saw the 10 franchises going all out against each other to acquire the services of their desired players. The bidding war among the teams led to one of the most thrilling auction in the history of IPL. Many players have fetched vast amounts of money and will be under extreme pressure to do justice to their price tags in the event scheduled to begin from 26th March.

Here are the 8 players expected to perform in Tata IPL 2022:

Ishan Kishan

The southpaw from Jharkhand has been sold for a whopping Rs 15.25 crore in this year’s auction. Mumbai Indians, the heavyweights of IPL, have let go of their premier wicketkeeper-batsman in Quinton de Dock & banked heavily on the prospects of blooming Ishan Kishan. It was the first time in the auction’s history that MI had splurged more than Rs 10 crore for a player. He has not been in the best form in the recent T20is against Windies, but MI would undoubtedly hope that Kishan comes into his own at Tata IPL 2022 to become the backbone of their batting line-up in the years to come.

Deepak Chahar
The most expensive Indian bowler in the history of IPL auction. Chennai Super Kings could not retain him but have shown great faith in his swing bowling skills to buy him for Rs 14 crore at the auction. He has been entrusted with leading CSK’s fast bowling unit & contributing with the bat lower down the order.

Liam Livingstone

The latest English batting phenomenon, Livingstone, was bought by the Punjab Kings at the auction for a massive Rs 11.50 crore, making him the most expensive overseas buy this year. Even though he failed to make an impact with Rajasthan Royals last year, he is still being trusted by the PBK’s management to take him to their first IPL trophy at Tata IPL 2022. It might be his last chance to prove his worth in the IPL.

Shreyas Iyer
Iyer left Delhi Capitals to go under the hammer at the auction. After a protracted bidding war by Kolkata Knight Riders, he was bought for Rs. 12.25 crore. Iyer is also appointed the franchise captain, which has already won the tournament. He has huge shoes to fill in as the side’s skipper & contribute healthily with the bat.

Nicholas Pooran

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s middle-order woes have plagued them for many years. They rely heavily on Nicholas Pooran to sort out their batting hiccups by buying him for Rs. 10.75 crores. Pooran had been poor in his previous IPL outings, but SRH has placed their faith in his abilities. Whether or not the southpaw lives up to it is soon to be seen.

Wanindu Hasaranga
Bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs. 10.75 crores. Hasaranga is tasked with a tough act to follow. RCB have parted ways with their leading wicket-taker of all time, Yuzvendra Chahal and invested in him instead. He is expected to lead the charge of RCB’s spin bowling attack & perform as a finisher for the side as well.

Avesh Khan
Lucknow Super Giants, the new entrants in the IPL, have bought Khan for Rs. 10 crores, making him the highest-paid uncapped Indian player of all time. LSG, an up and coming franchise, have shown their belief in an up and coming Indian talent. Khan will be under immense pressure to justify his price tag in the IPL.

Dewald Brevis

Dewald Brevis is an upcoming superstar in the world of cricket. The South African batter is known as Baby AB because he can play exciting and uncanny strokes on good bowls. He was bought at Rs 3 crores by Mumbai Indians, who have a keen eye that recognises obscure talents. Brevis would be under pressure to justify the buzz around his nickname.
