IPL 2022 Auction: 5 Players who will have ’NO-TAKERS’ at the BASE price they have listed themselves
Steve Smith: This came as a surprise to many when the former Australian captain set a base price of 2 Cr in the upcoming IPL 2022 tournament. Questions are to be raised after the 32-year-old Australian batter’s form in IPL in 2021 where he scored just 152 runs in 8 innings with an average of 25.33. With such a high base price, it can be a high possibility that Smith doesn’t find him a team in IPL 2022.
Ishant Sharma: The lanky Indian pacer has been out of the Nation team for quite some time. Injuries, fitness, and current form are major issues for the player. After having played only 3 games in IPL 2021 where he managed to pick 1 wicket, it came as a surprise to many when he set himself a high base price of 1.5 Cr.
Nathan Lyon: Premoniantly a Test cricketing legend for Australia with over 415 wickets, 34-year-old bowler Nathan Lyon has not made a mark for himself in white-ball cricket. With 29 ODIs and 2 T20Is, it came as a surprise for many when Lyon registered himself to the IPL Auctions for the first time in his career for a base price of 1.5 Cr. A player established in the test format of the game will likely remain unsold owing to his high base price.
