IPL 2022: Best Benched XI from the third week of the tournament
A couple of talented cricketers warmed the benches in this week of IPL 2022.
4. Mandeep Singh
Mandeep has had his ups and downs in the IPL but one can’t deny his shot-making abilities. Mandeep Singh has given some brilliant performances for his previous franchises like Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Royal Challengers Banglore (RCB). The cricketer from Punjab was acquired by Delhi Capitals (DC) at the auction earlier this year.
The 30-year-old started for the Capitals and played the first two games. However, he failed to make use of the opportunity, returning with scores of 0 and 18. In the wake of his poor returns, Mandeep was left out of the playing XI in favour of Sarfaraz Khan.
With Delhi struggling in the middle overs, they might look for someone who can steady their innings in the middle with calculated aggression and this is where Mandeep’s strength lies. It would be no surprise if Rishabh Pant and Co. use him in their upcoming games. Mandeep, with his experience of playing previous editions of the IPL, can be a valuable asset in the business end of the cash-rich league.
