Steve Smith: The Australia superstar needs to introduction. However, a wide number of factors are responsible for the Australian batter to be sold at the base price in IPL 2022 mega auction. Smith had a relatively average season in IPL last year. He managed to score 152 runs in 8 matches with an average of 25.33. The 2.20 Cr salary of 31-year-old batter is likely to be reduced to a great extent when the 10 franchises bid for him in February.
Eoin Morgan: This high-priced English batter had a poor season in IPL last year. He managed to produce just 133 runs in 17 matches with a very low average of 11.08. The 10 teams will be eager to pick the 35-year-old Irish batsman at the base price in IPL 2022 mega auction, rather than matching his previous salary of 5.25 Cr.
David Miller: Having scored just 124 runs in 9 matches with an average of 24.80, the 32-year-old South African batsman will be eager to perform at this grand tournament. However, the batter is likely to be sold at his base price in the IPL 2022 mega auction.

Shakib Al Hasan: The Bangladeshi all-rounder has always been a crowd favourite in the IPL. However, the 34-year-old cricketer had a poor season in IPL 2021. With 47 runs with the bat and 4 wickets in 8 matches, Shakib is likely to match his salary of 3.20 Cr. Teams will be looking to acquire his services at his base price.
Mohammad Nabi: The 37-year-old Afghani all-rounder played just 3 games in IPL 2021. With 34 runs and 2 wickets and a bowling average of 43.00, Nabi is bound to be sold at his base owing to his reduced game time last season.
