5 Candidates for all-rounders position in Ahmedabad

Before the IPL 2022 Auction, the new Ahmedabad franchise already had two outstanding all-rounders in Hardik Pandya and Rashid Khan. They’ll now try to bid for top-tier Indian all-rounders to bolster their middle-order.

Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar, for example, made an impression against South Africa earlier this month. As a result, when their names come up during the auction, their stocks are bound to rise.

We take a look at five players Ahmedabad might pursue ahead of the huge IPL 2022 Auction to help relieve the pressure on Hardik Pandya.

Shardul Thakur will be on Ahmedabad’s radar during the IPL 2022 Auction

Shardul Thakur is the most recent all-rounder to have performed admirably for India. The former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) talent was not retained prior to the auction and will look for a new team in the IPL in 2022. Ahmedabad is seen to be the favorite to capture the all-rounder.

Thakur has been a hit with the ball in the premier competition (67 wickets from 61 matches at an average of 27.87) and can make effective use of the long handle.

Washington Sundar

Another player who can contribute in more ways than just bowling on the powerplay. The Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Washington Sundar was crucial in the IPL 2020. Despite missing most of the season due to injuries, he remains a valuable bat and ballplayer.

He’s taken 27 wickets in 42 games with an economy rate of 6.94, which is a fantastic ER to have in such a high-profile event. In the IPL 2022 Auction, he might be an excellent pick for Ahmedabad.

Deepak Chahar

Deepak Chahar has 59 scalps from 63 games with a 29.19 average and a 7.8 economy. Despite several outstanding performances with the Chennai Super Kings, he was not re-signed by the team.

With the ability to strike the ball long and powerfully, the Rajasthan seamer can play every stroke in the book. During the IPL 2022 Auction, Ahmedabad is expected to be one of the clubs bidding for the bowling all-rounder.

Jason Holder

Jason Holder came in to replace Mitchell Marsh, who was injured and had an immediate effect on the Sunrisers Hyderabad, last year.

According to his IPL statistics, he has appeared in 26 games, hitting 189 runs and taking 35 wickets. With his captaincy qualities and game knowledge, Holder will be a valuable asset for Ahmedabad in the IPL 2022 Auction.

Mitchell Marsh

Mitchell Marsh of Australia, who was elevated to number three in Australia’s T20 eleven last year, is another all-rounder who would undoubtedly command a high price.

Marsh was named Man of the Match in the T20 World Cup final for his dazzling 50-ball 77*, and he has been in blistering form in the BBL 2021/22, averaging 78 with a strike rate of 148 and five wickets in six matches.
