IPL 2022: 3 players CSK should have chased in mega auction
CSK are struggling big time in IPL 2022.
2. Josh Hazlewood
The Australian fast bowler is recognized for his pace, bouncers, and consistency. Hazlewood is considered to be one of the best pacers to have graced the game with time. The 31-year-old was picked up by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the IPL mega auction 2022 for INR 7.75 crore.
In the T20 World Cup 2021, Hazlewood was Australia’s standout performer. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Delhi Capitals (DC), Mumbai Indians (MI), and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were all interested to bring him on board after his outstanding performance in international cricket. But it was Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) who clinched the deal.
When he was selected by Mumbai Indians ahead of the 2014 edition of the IPL, the player had drawn the attention of the IPL scouts. Hazlewood was later purchased by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ahead of IPL 2020 Player Auction. He had taken 11 wickets in nine games for CSK in IPL 2021. He undoubtedly possesses the big-game experience and necessary patience to make an impact in the majors.
