T20 World Cup 2022: Top five most expensive players of IPL 2022 who missed out on India's squad for the tournament
India’s squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 saw some of the most sought after names of IPL 2022 miss the cut.
3. Shreyas Iyer - INR 12.25 crore (Kolkata Knight Riders)
Shreyas Iyer has been a constant figure in the Indian camp across formats. At the start of the year 2022, the 27-year-old was at his best, piling on runs for fun, especially in the T20I series against Sri Lanka. However, he could not carry the same form going forward.
The KKR skipper had a middling year at IPL 2022 by his lofty standards. Iyer scored 401 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of 134.56. The Mumbai-born was looked at as a backup batter in the build up to the T20 World Cup and was primarily contesting for that slot with Deepak Hooda.
Hooda had a stellar IPL and replicated the rich vein of form in the international circuit. He is flexible in terms of batting positions and can be really handy with the ball as well. It gave him an edge over Iyer and the Mumbai batter missed out on selection. But, nonetheless, he will be travelling with the team as one of the stand-by players.
