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.
1. Ishan Kishan - INR 15.25 crore (Mumbai Indians)
Ishan Kishan is known for his fearless batting approach. The wicket-keeper batter was part of India’s World Cup plans initially and performed fairly well in the chances he got. As of now, the 24-year-old has played 19 T20I matches and scored 543 runs at a strike rate of 131.16.
However, there were a few things that worked against the Jharkhand batter. Ishan had a rather mediocre outing in IPL 2022 where he struck at 120.11 - quite uncharacteristic of him. With KL Rahul a certainty to start as an opener, the dashing batter only had the backup wicket-keeper spot to make a case for himself.
But Dinesh Karthik, with his prolific performances in the IPL 2022 for Royal Challengers Bangalore and then for India, had a strong resume for the wicket-keeper slot. Also, the 37-year-old fulfills the role of a designated finisher which is highly invaluable. Therefore, Kishan ended up losing the spot to Karthik.
