Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Former SRH pace spearhead Bhuvneshwar Kumar was a formidable part of the India squad across all formats. His form has fallen sharply and now he no longer finds a place among stars Mohd Shami and Jasprit Bumrah who have been consistent since their early days. He has managed just 9 wickets in 15 games in the last two editions of IPL. He also managed to scalp just 20 wickets in 21 T20Is in two years. The 31-year-old might have lost his pace but comes with an experience of 132 IPL matches with 142 wickets under his belt.
Last IPL salary: Rs 8.5 crore
R Ashwin
R Ashwin might have once again become a part of all three formats for India but his performance doesn’t justify a place in IPL 2022. He managed to pick just 7 wickets in 13 matches in the last edition of IPL. However, he has been brilliant in Tests but the question is – Will the IPL franchise pick him on basis of Test performance? Having said that, Ashwin has played 167 matches and scalped 145 wickets at a brilliant economy rate of 6.91.
Last IPL salary: Rs 7.6 crore
Shikhar Dhawan
India opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan finally makes his way to the India squad. After being sidelined from the T20s, the timely comeback in the 50-over side gives him the perfect platform to prove himself one more time.

He has a record of 5784 runs from 192 matches which includes 44 fifties and a couple of centuries. He has the most fours in the history of IPL viz. staggering 624 boundaries.
Last IPL salary: Rs 5.2 crore
