IPL 2022: 5 fresh faces who may attract decent bids in mega auction

2. Tanmay Agarwal

Tanmay Agarwal, a highly consistent batter in the domestic circuit, could be an excellent pick for the franchises in the mega auction. Tanmay is a left-handed top-order opening batsman from Hyderabad. He has been a consistent performer for Hyderabad in recent years, and he captained the team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021.

He was the leading run-scorer in SMAT 2021, with 334 runs from seven games, an average of 55.67 and four fifties. A strike rate of 148.44 demonstrates his devastating ability and power. His consistency has been top-notch. He scored 250 runs at a strike rate of 162.33 in the 2016-17 season and garnered 151 runs from five games in the 2017-2018 season with a strike rate of over 145.

The 26-year-old is also one of the few players who has scored hundreds on both first-class and List A debuts. He would be an excellent option for top-order teams due to his left-handed batting stance, which would provide variety.
