The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 auction is the last mega event as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is planning to do away with the concept as most franchises don’t want their stable core to be tinkered with.
Amongst 600 players who have registered for the auction, 228 are capped players, 365 are uncapped players and seven belong to Associate Nations. A fierce battle to acquire the services of some of the finest Indian cricketing talent is on the cards when the likes of Shreyas Iyer, Shikhar Dhawan, R Ashwin, Mohammad Shami, Ishan Kishan, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Yuzvendra Chahal, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, etc. go under the hammer.
The #TATAIPLAuction 2022 is almost here, where your favourite teams’ future will be decided! This is where their road to success shall begin.
