IPL 2022: Most expensive player for each team from mega auction and his performance so far
These are the players with the most expensive price tags in this year's Mega Auction
2. Shreyas Iyer for Kolkata Knight Riders (INR 12.25 cr)
Kolkata Knight Riders found their new captain in their most expensive buy this season. The drought that the side has been facing was finally to be fulfilled as Iyer stepped in to elicit the captaincy vows, but the points table tells a different story after five weeks of the tournament. First four matches, KKR sailed like a supreme, topped the table, and was looking like full-fledged contenders for the trophy.
In the next few games, KKR went through a winless streak that ended against RR. As a captain, Iyer is facing some issues keeping up with the winning combination in batting as well as bowling. But as a batsman, his form in the T20 internationals continued in the IPL season as well.
With a few captaincy knocks to his name, Iyer has scored a total of 324 runs in 10 matches averaging 36. His strike rate averages at 133.33 and his highest score is 85. Undoubtedly, Iyer has stepped up many times to escape his team out in the middle overs, KKR still has to win a lot more games to stay in the race for playoffs.
