Indian Premier League (<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a> ) 2022 has already lived up to the expectations. Only a few days into the tournament, we have witnessed some scintillating performances. From Rahul Tewatia&#8217;s last-over heroics to Pat Cummins&#8217; unbeaten 56-run blitz in just 15 balls, there has been no dearth of excitement.

While some cricketers have made notable performances, many others are yet to take the tournament by storm. Many overseas cricketers, who landed in India with high expectations, have fallen flat. They have struggled to justify their hefty price tag. Although there is enough time to turn the tables, we take a look at 5 foreign cricketers, who have had a rough start to IPL 2022.

Here are 5 overseas players who have failed to justify their hefty price tag in IPL 2022

1.  Daniel Sams (INR 2.60 cr)

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-621765" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Daniel-Sams-2.jpg" alt="Daniel Sams" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-621765" class="wp-caption-text">Daniel Sams. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

The 29-year-old all-rounder from Australia is known for his fiery spells with the new ball. His top-notch performances in the Big Bash League (BBL) earned him a contract with Mumbai Indians (MI) for a whopping price of INR 2.60 cr. However, his performance in the IPL 2022 has been a disaster so far.

In the match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), he produced an unwanted record for himself. He bowled the second most expensive over in the history of IPL, conceding 35 runs in an over to compatriot <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/seen-dre-russ-do-that-but-pat-its-unbelievable-coach-brendon-mccullum-praises-pat-cummins-after-record-knock/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pat Cummins</a>. Sams was eventually left out of the playing XI in the next couple of games.

He failed to live up to his name and his hefty price tag. Sams has managed to pick up only one wicket in three appearances at an economy of 12.64 runs per over. With the bat, the Aussie cricketer has only mustered seven runs. He will be looking for a chance to show his metal to the Mumbai Indians and the other teams.

2. Kieron Pollard (INR 6 cr)

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-621901" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Kieron-Pollard.jpg" alt="Kieron Pollard" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-621901" class="wp-caption-text">Kieron Pollard. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

One of the best all-rounders going around, Kieron Pollard was retained by Mumbai Indians (MI) for a hefty sum of INR 6 cr. He has been an integral part of the Mumbai squad over the last few years. His ability to win games single-handedly makes him a beneficial addition to the five-time IPL champions.

However, he has failed to live up to his name in IPL 2022. Pollard has managed only 57 runs in the five matches he played so far. He has also been ineffective with the ball, managing only one wicket, going at a rate of 10 runs per over,  He was given preference over <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/captaincy-is-fun-allows-me-to-be-the-flag-bearer-hardik-pandya/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hardik Pandya</a>, a move which hasn&#8217;t yielded any dividends as of now.

Pollard&#8217;s outings so far in the 15th edition of the tournament pretty much sum up Mumbai Indians&#8217; run in the competition. They have lost all their five matches in the competition and toil at the bottom of the IPL 2022 points table. The Mumbai management will hope Pollard to fire all cylinders as they look to bounce back in the competition.

3. Moeen Ali (INR Rs 8 cr)

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-625494" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Moeen-Ali.jpg" alt="Moeen Ali" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-625494" class="wp-caption-text">Moeen Ali. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

The hard-hitting English all-rounder Moeen Ali was retained by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for a whopping price of INR 8 cr. He was retained in the wake of his brilliant performance for the defending champions in the previous edition. He played a big part in the journey of his side to win the title of IPL 2021, scoring 357 runs and scalping six wickets.

However, Moeen has failed to put up a show in this edition. The veteran all-rounder has only managed to score 86 runs in four outings at an average of 21.50. Besides, he has gone wicketless in the six overs he has bowled over the four games. Moeen&#8217;s flat outing in IPL 2022 so far has had a massive impact on the franchise as they witnessed the worst start in IPL&#8217;s history, losing the first four games.

Moeen Ali was chosen over the South African veteran <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/anuj-rawat-is-player-for-the-future-rcb-skipper-faf-du-plessis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Faf du Plessis</a>, who has been an integral part of the CSK in the last couple of seasons. The opener amassed 633 runs and was integral in Chennai lifting their fourth IPL title. Moeen will hope to hit the strides and repay the trust shown by the franchise.

4. Romario Shepherd (INR 7.75 cr)

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-623064" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Romario-Shepherd.jpg" alt="Romario Shepherd" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-623064" class="wp-caption-text">Romario Shepherd. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

The beast all-rounder from West Indies was acquired by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-match-25-predicted-sunrisers-hyderabad-playing-xi-vs-kolkata-knight-riders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunrisers Hyderabad</a> (SRH) at the 2022 mega auction for a whopping price of INR 7.75 cr. Romario Shepherd is known for his hard-hitting ability and can turn the match on its head single-handedly. Besides, he is also more than handy with the ball and can rack up some good pace.

However, he has failed to make a mark in his debut season of the IPL. The West Indian was ineffective with the bat in the two matches he played, scoring 32 runs at a strike rate of just over 120. Shepherd also proved to be costly with the ball, giving away runs at an economy rate of 9.38 while taking only three wickets.

As a result, he was dropped from playing XI. He has failed to live up to the expectations and justify the big paycheque spent for him at the auction. Shepherd will hope to bounce back and showcase his talent if another opportunity comes his way in the remainder of the 15th edition of the tournament.

5. Rovman Powell (INR 2.80 cr)

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-623868" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Rovman-Powell.jpg" alt="Rovman Powell" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-623868" class="wp-caption-text">Rovman Powell (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

Another hard-hitting all-rounder from West Indies, Rovman Powell was sold for a massive amount in this year&#8217;s auction. Rovman Powell was acquired by the Delhi Capitals for a whopping price of INR 2.80 cr. Powell grabbed eyeballs with his hard-hitting abilities when West Indies toured India earlier this year.

However, he has failed to live up to the expectations of his team. The 28-year-old all-rounder has amassed only 31 runs in four appearances, with the best score of 20. His dismal show in the middle order has hurt Delhi Capitals, who have failed to capitalise on the good start provided by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-want-to-turn-prithvi-shaw-into-a-player-who-plays-over-100-test-matches-for-india-ricky-ponting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prithvi Shaw</a> and David Warner.

Besides, has also proved to be ineffective with the ball, conceding plenty of runs. He has remained wicketless and has given runs at an economy rate of 17 runs per over. Powell has to perform well with both bat and ball on a consistent basis if Delhi Capital want to keep themselves in the race for the IPL 2022 playoffs.

IPL 2022: 5 overseas players who failed to justify their hefty price tag in the tournament

In this article, we take a look at 5 overseas cricketers who have failed to live up to the expectations so far in IPL 2022.
