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

4. South Africa: INR 44.30 crore

During the mid-2010s, the South Africans were a hot commodity in the IPL. Players like Miller, AB de Villers, and Faf du Plessis were in their prime. But, as time passed, so did their form. Although Faf is still on the circuit, he no longer plays international cricket.

This time, Quinton de Kock went to the Lucknow Supergiants. There, he will be a part of a destructive batting lineup. As KL Rahul is at the other end, the fans will be hoping for a treat to witness in the IPL.

For the CSK fans, it was heartbreak as their beloved veteran Faf du Plessis went to the Royal Challengers Bangalore. But, in a different perspective, it will be a treat to watch Faf bat alongside the master Virat Kohli. Adding on, players like Rassie Van der Dussen will be part of different franchises as well.
