Matthew Wade last featured in IPL way back in 2011 for the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals). As the wicketkeeper-batter had an impressive stint in the T20 World Cup 2021, he has earned a place in the Gujarat Titans squad for IPL 2022 season. The southpaw was picked up at the last moments of the mega auction for a price of INR 2.4 crore, with Punjab Kings showing interest in him.
Wade has immense experience playing for Australia and in the Big Bash League for a lot of years. He can play anywhere in the batting line-up, from opening the innings to being a finisher for the side. The veteran will be one of the players to watch out in the upcoming season as he has bagged an IPL contract after eleven years.
Wade can be really aggressive when he gets going and he can also pack a punch as he has a lot of shots including the scoops over the fine leg fielder against fast bowlers and the sweep shots to counter the spinners. He is expected to be a valuable addition to the side and will help out Hardik with his captaincy experience as well.
