IPL 2022: Shahrukh Khan, Abdul Samad and 3 other uncapped players on whom franchises are regretting showering millions, Will they be released before IPL 2023?
Shahrukh Khan (Punjab Kings) –
- One of the biggest flops of the IPL 2022 season Shahrukh Khan was paid Rs 9 crore in in the February auction.
- Shahrukh has been a big flop after impressing in the domestic season in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy.
- So far Shahrukh has scored only 98 runs in 7 matches and has lost his place in the team.
- Whether he will be with PBKS for next season remains to be seen as he clearly lacks the experience and character needed at the IPL level.
Abdul Samad (Sunrisers Hyderabad) –
- After a promising IPL 2021 campaign lot was expected of Abdul Samad and there were even calls of a national team representation.
- However, that has disappeared and so as his form for the SRH after they decided to splash Rs 4 crore for his signature.
- Abdul has played only two matches in the entire IPL 2022 campaign, where he has scored only four runs and bowled just one over.
- Samad will quickly have to impress in the nets and turn over the attention if he is to have any chance of playing IPL 2023 for SRH.
Murgan Ashwin (Mumbai Indians) –
- Murgan Ashwin has endured a lot of pressure in the IPL 2022 campaign and was the leading wicket-taker for MI before Jasprit Bumrah came back in form.
- Ashwin though hasn’t lived up to the expectations he was brought up with and has at times dropped to the bench.
- After spending Rs 1.6 crore on Ashwin, MI have played him in 8 matches while he has scalped 9 wickets.
- Considering a team overhaul could be planned, MI might regret signing Ashwin and release him before the IPL 2023.

Shivam Mavi (Kolkata Knight Riders) –
- Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) spent Rs 7.25 crore to bring Shivam Mavi to the franchise after he impressed in IPL 2021.
- But like other players on the list he has seen his stocks fall considerably, with string of poor performances and is ultimately warming the bench for KKR.
- But before he was sidelined he contributed five wickets and at a poor average of 45.40 in six matches, he was always going to be part of the bench.
- KKR might still give him a chance, but if he doesn’t improve it will be hard to make a case for him in IPL 2023.
Riyan Parag (Rajasthan Royals) –
- Among a string of big players Riyan Parag was the shining light and was supposed to be the next big thing when RR decided to spend Rs 3.80 crore on him.
- But Riyan’s form has quickly evaporated after impressing in domestic circuit. Despite poor form he is has played every match in the IPL 2022.
- In 13 matches, Riyan has amassed 154 runs with a best of unbeaten 56, but it is his average of 17.11 which makes his numbers worse.
- RR have given enough time for Riyan to prove his worth, but with new players and options in IPL 2023, he might be on his way out of the team.
