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

2. England: INR 64.85 crore

Given the fact that the teams gave away INR 64.85 crores in the auction for English players, we can conclude that they are a powerhouse in limited-overs cricket. There is no doubt that the brand of cricket they have played since the 2015 World Cup still remains a template for other teams to follow. In the IPL, their players have done exceedingly well.

With Johnny Bairstow breaking the INR 5 crore barrier, he has proved that he is one of the biggest assets for the teams. He can attack from the word go and the Kings will surely benefit from his services. Adding on, Liam Livingstone has done a tremendous job in different T20 leagues as well.

The fun fact about this year’s auction is that their regular captain went unsold this time. Eoin Morgan found no bidders in the two-day event. However, Alex Hales was sold to the Kolkata Knight Riders.
