For the unversed, IPL 2022 will be a grand affair as for the first time since the 2011 season, a total of 10 teams will be in action. Ahead of the mega auction, the eight existing sides were allowed to retain a maximum of just four players. As far as the franchises are concerned, they selected three players apiece from the list of non-retained players.

While all sides were allotted a purse of INR 90 crore, they stepped into the bidding event with amounts, depending upon the players they picked in retention and draft. With a limited amount being available, teams needed a précised plan to form a formidable squad.

10 players touched the INR 10-crore mark

Several sides like Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings tried reacquiring the services of their former players. At the same time, some sides went for a revamp and targeted new players. Interestingly, for the very first time, a total of 10 players were bought for INR 10 crore or over in an IPL auction event. This shows how many exciting bidding wars this auction witnessed.

Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan was the most-expensive player at the event, bagging a whooping INR 15.25 crore from Mumbai Indians. Speaking of the shockers, proven stars like Steve Smith, Shakib Al Hasan and Suresh Raina didn’t get a single bid.

Needless to mention, cricket fans were highly entertained as social media was flooded with analysis and opinions. Now, it will be interesting to see how the lucrative competition pans out this year. Meanwhile, IPL 2022 is all but likely to get underway in the last week of March. The past 14 seasons of the competition have seen mind-boggling action over the 22 yards.
