IPL 2022 auction: 4 Indian players with a base price of ₹1 crore who might go unsold

The BCCI has released a list of all players who have registered for the forthcoming IPL mega-auction and have been shortlisted. 590 players will be auctioned off, sparking a bidding war among the 10 teams.

There are 228 capped players, 355 uncapped players, and seven players from Associate Nations on the completed list. In addition, 370 of the 590 players are Indians, while the remaining 220 are from other countries.

In terms of basic pricing, the players have been separated into numerous groups. The top three reserve values are 2 crores, 1.5 crores, and 1 crore respectively. At a starting fee of 2 crores, 48 players have signed up. Twenty athletes have declared themselves as part of the 1.5 crore base price, while 34 players have identified themselves as part of the 1 crore base price.

We look at four Indian players in the $1 million category who might go unsold in the forthcoming IPL 2022 mega-auction.

Piyush Chawla

Piyush Chawla, 33, has appeared in 165 IPL matches and has 157 scalps at an economy rate of 7.88. Chawla, however, did not have many opportunities after five seasons with the Kolkata Knight Riders from 2014 to 2019.

He was purchased for a high fee of 6.75 crores by reigning champions Chennai Super Kings ahead of the IPL 2020 auction. Chawla, on the other hand, did not receive many games and was launched in 2021. Last season, he was with the Mumbai Indians, although he only appeared in eight games in the previous two seasons.

Kedar Jadhav

Kedar Jadhav has played in the IPL for a number of teams, including CSK, Delhi Capitals, RCB, and SRH. He hasn’t played international cricket in a long time, which might be why he goes unsold in the forthcoming IPL mega-auction.

Jadhav’s last international encounter for India was in 2017, and he has yet to be selected for the national team. Furthermore, he is now 36 years old, which is something that organizations will undoubtedly consider when bidding for players.

Wriddhiman Saha

Wriddhiman Saha has appeared in 133 IPL matches, averaging 24.5 and scoring over 2,000 runs. Behind the stumps, Saha is also a force to be reckoned with. When it comes to international cricket, though, he exclusively plays the longest format.

For the Sunrisers Hyderabad, Saha spent practically the entire previous season on the bench. Saha was unable to get into the starting XI due to Johnny Bairstow’s form. Saha is likewise unaffected by his age. He is presently 36 years old, which may cause some franchisees to look for other opportunities.

Jayant Yadav

The Mumbai Indians did not re-sign Jayant Yadav earlier this year. With the strength of his domestic accomplishments, he carved his way into the Indian Test and ODI teams. Jayant Yadav, on the other hand, has not been given many chances in the IPL. He has only played 19 games since his debut in 2015, taking eight wickets at an economy rate of 6.8.

Given that the auction will include younger and more skilled spinners, Jayant may be disregarded by the ten franchises.
