10 bowlers who can attract big bids in IPL 2022 mega auction

9. Harshal Patel

The IPL 2021 has been a massive revelation not just for Harshal Patel but for the entire RCB franchise as well. His prominent rise has not just solved RCB’s death bowling woes but actually has allowed skipper Kohli to avail himself with a plethora of bowling resources. That’s why for a change, by constantly attacking as a complete bowling unit, Harshal has astoundingly scalped some 17 wickets which eventually has also made him uphold the current purple cap.

Now despite some sky-rocket performances, Harshal’s retention might get iffy as players like skipper Kohli, ABD, Maxwell, and Mohammed Siraj might be class ahead in the pecking order for possible retentions. Hence, the pacer will certainly make a pass through the IPL auction which in many ways might also make him bag a whopping IPL contract. Especially as a death-over specialist, all the IPL teams will get kooky to anyhow grab him as no team would like to indulge in some death bowling conundrums in the next edition.

Perhaps, with Harshal’s ability to even tonk the ball would also definitely allure those franchises who like casting various all-rounders. Hence, with some teams also aiming to bag Harshal with a longer vision, the pacer will no doubt summon some extra money for his vigorous actions in the ongoing IPL.
