IPL 2022 is around the corner. The 15th edition of IPL will be more exciting as two new teams have been added. In every edition, teams get an opportunity to build or modify their squad through the auction. The mega auction happens every three years. This year's auction will take place in February. Many top international players have gotten million-dollar contracts. The Indian players have touched the 10 CRS mark. Overseas players were not behind, and they have managed to grab the same number of Indian stars.
1. Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan was a hot topic before the auction. Almost all teams have eyes on this young and talented Indian wicketkeeper-batsman. It's the Mumbai franchise who got this player for a whopping 15 CRS. Kishan has been groomed by Mumbai itself. He will try to stand on his team's trust.
2. Deepak Chahar
Deepak Chahar is another Indian player who bagged a humongous IPL contract. The Chennai bowler saw an extraordinary hike on his IPL fees. Chahar is a top power-play bowler who can trouble batters with his swings. Chahar will try to prove the worth of his IPL contract.
3. Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer was the most demanding player in the auction. One reason behind this was teams hunting for the captain. Shreyas, after having a memorable season with Delhi, decided to move on to a leadership role. The Kolkata franchise picked him at 12 CRS that he deserves.
4. Liam Livingston
Liam Livingston has risen up as one of the best all-rounders in T20 cricket. Livingston was expected to go big in this year's auction. Almost all teams went after him but the Punjab franchise got this player thanks to their big purse. He becomes the most expensive overseas player of this year's auction.
5. Harshal Patel
Harshal Patel has seen a miracle change in the last IPL season. RCB traded this player from Delhi. This move proved to be a miracle for both Harshal and RCB. He bagged 32 wickets. Patel was expected to be at a high price in the auction. RCB manages to get back to 10 CRS.
6. Shardul Thakur
Shardul Thakur has become a regular part of the Indian cricket team in all formats. This player has risen up as one of the fine all rounders for his teams. Shardul's name was among the hottest picks of the auction. The Delhi franchise picked him at the big price tag of 10 CRS.
7. Nicholas Pooran
Nicholas Pooran would have been surprised after the IPL auction. The player got an unexpected bid of 10 CRS. No one was expecting this after his horrible season in 2021. However, one poor season can't decide the potential he has. Pooran will try his best to prove this bid as a worthy one.
8. Hasaranga
Once Sri Lankan players used to play in every franchise of the IPL. However, players from this country are rarely seen in the IPL now. Fortunately, the rising star of this team, Hasaranga, has regained its history. This player has bagged a total of 10 CRS price in the auction.
9. Lockie Ferguson
Lockie Ferguson is a modern-day premium quality pacer. The kiwi player can uproot any batter's middle stump with his raw pace. Ferguson has played a selected number of matches in the IPL. However, he's likely to get a big role for Gujarat Titans in this year's edition.
10. Avesh Khan
Avesh Khan is a rising fast bowler of the Indian cricket team. This bowler had a dream IPL season in last year's edition. Delhi showed trust in him and played him over the experienced players. As expected, Avesh Khan got a million dollars contract in the auction.
