Mega IPL Auction: IPL 2022 is going to be a great season, as all the franchises will start almost from the scratch and re-build their squads at the mega IPL auction. Many senior players who have represented their franchises for a very long period of time, will be once again pushed back into the auction and their fate will be decided by the franchise owners.
In this post, we will have a look at players whose career will end if they don’t get picked in the mega IPL auction.
1) Suresh Raina
Suresh Raina is also known as Mr. IPL because he has given his everything for Chennai Super Kings and score tons of runs in the yellow jersey. It is true that he is not even half of what he used to be a couple of years ago but many CSK fans were very disappointed when he wasn’t retained by the franchise. If Raina doesn’t find a bidder in the mega IPL auction, it is almost certain that he will never play in the IPL again and his career will end without even getting a farewell game.
2) Imran Tahir
Imran Tahir was the oldest player in IPL 2021 and he will carry this badge in IPL 2022 as well. Tahir, who travels around the world to play T20 cricket, has marinated very high level of fitness even in his forties and he would be hoping to find a bidder in the world’s most lucrative and popular T20 league. However, if he doesn’t find a bid, it might be all over for him in the IPL.
3) Kedar Jadhav
Kedar Jadhav has had major fitness issues and he hasn’t represented India in a very long period of time. It seems unlikely that Kedar will find a bidder in the mega IPL auction and there are high chances that he might not play in the IPL ever again.
4) Chris Gayle
Chris Gayle is one of the most destructive batsman in the history of the game and his impact in the Indian Premier League has been massive. However, with his grey hair, low reflexes, weaker eye-sight and limitations as a fielder, it is likely that the Universe Boss might go unsold in the mega IPL auction.
5) Dan Christian
Australian all-rounder has represented many franchises in the IPL, but considering his past few performances, it seems unlikely that he will find a bidder in the mega IPL auction. As per our analysis, Christian has already played his last game of the Indian Premier League.
