IPL 2022: Country-wise money spent on the players in the mega auction

The Indian Premier League (IPL) really lives up to its name of being the “Premier” league in world cricket. With so many players nominating themselves, it becomes extremely difficult for anyone to make it to the final squad. This is one of the reasons why IPL is one of the toughest leagues in the world.

This time as well, we witnessed history as veterans like Suresh Raina, Eoin Morgan, and Dawid Malan went unsold. But, current Indian players like Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Chahar attracted a huge amount of bids. Apart from that Jofra Archer went for nearly INR 8 crores as well. But, which country’s secured the maximum amount of money? Which team provided the best quality of players?

Let us have a look at the total money spent on each country’s players:

7. Bangladesh: INR 2 crore

For Bangladesh players, it was a mediocre auction in 2022. Even though no one had expected their players to break records, the fans would’ve hoping to see more players from the nation in the auction pool. This time around, only one player from the country was sold, and it is an easy guess for anyone who follows the sport.

Mustafizur Rahman was sold for his base price of INR 2 crore. He will be a part of the Delhi Capitals during the 2022 season. It will be interesting to see how he performs under the leadership of Rishabh Pant.

Rahman is an excellent death bowler in the format. Adding on, his variations are difficult to pick up for the batsmen. To add more brownie points, he has been in terrific form since the last year. Well, the fans will be hoping that they get to see more of him in the IPL this time.
