Perennial orange cap contender, leadership option, wicket-keeper and experienced batsman – KL Rahul boasts of all these qualities making him a desired pick for all franchises in the auction.

David Warner

David Warner has a phenomenal record in the IPL and is the leading run-getter among overseas players. While the Australian did have a season to forget last year, he bounced back in style to win the player of the tournament, helping Australia clinch their maiden T20 World Cup title. Warner fell out with the SRH management and was not retained, and will be on many team’s radar should his name be called out in the auction.

Mitchell Marsh

David Warner’s Sunrisers Hyderabad and Sunrisers Hyderabad teammate Mitchell Marsh has been in stellar form in 2021, making the No.3 spot in the Australian side his own. Marsh shone with the bat at the t20 World Cup and is likely to attract massive bids in the auction. His medium pace is also a valuable asst to have and Marsh should be one of the most sought after players in the IPL 2022 auction pool.

Josh Hazlewood

 

Josh Hazlewood has come leaps and bounds as a T20 bowler and played a starring role for the Chennai Super Kings in the latter stages of the IPL 2021 title win. He then followed it up with a superb performance at the T20 World Cup, helping Australia win their maiden title. A cunning bowler, Josh Hazlewood to hold his line and hit the right length has earned him plaudits all over the world, and franchises will be keen to secure his services and will earmark him to lead their attack.
