IPL 2022: 3 Players PBKS might release ahead of next season
These players didn't get many opportunities this season and might get released.
2. Sandeep Sharma
Sandeep Sharma is an experienced medium-pacer who has been playing since 2013 and this year he was bought by the Punjab Kings, but it did not work out to plan. The right-arm bowler played just five matches, picking up 2 wickets at an economy rate of 7.65. Sandeep can feel hard done by, given the lack of opportunities this season despite having 114 wickets to his name in IPL.
The 29-year-old was not used by the Punjab franchise as much as his former team, the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Punjab didn’t show much faith in him as when he went expensive in the first game, he was dropped by the management. Sandeep’s performances have also gotten a sudden decline in the last couple of editions.
PBKS have had the likes of Kagiso Rabada and Arshdeep Singh as frontline pacers and the inclusion of Rishi Dhawan as the third pacer provided a balance to the side. Hence, taking all the above factors into consideration, he might be released by the team ahead of next year’s auction.
