IPL
The 2nd half of the 14th edition of the IPL is set to kickstart from September 2021. Following the IPL 2021 season, a mega auction for IPL 2022 is set to take place. Every IPL franchise will be allowed to retain only 4 players for the next season. Hence, some players might have to face harsh axing in the IPL 2022 mega auction. Here is a list of 4 cricketers who might face harsh axing in the upcoming IPL 2022 mega auction:
⦁ Shardul Thakur
Indian pace bowler Shardul Thakur endured a dismal outing with CSK in the 1st half of IPL 2021. In 7 matches in the 1st leg of the IPL this season, Shardul Thakur managed to scalp only 5 wickets in total. The CSK bowler also maintained a poor bowling economy of 9.13 in the 1st leg of IPL 2021. Hence, there is a strong chance that Thakur might be axed in the upcoming IPL 2022 auction.
⦁ R Ashwin
Indian spin bowler R Ashwin performed poorly for DC in the 1st leg of the IPL this season. In 5 matches in the 1st half of IPL 2021, R Ashwin managed to scalp only 1 wicket in total. Ashwin also maintained an average bowling economy of 7.73 in the 1st leg of IPL 2021. After performing poorly in the 1st half of IPL 2021, Ashwin might be axed in the upcoming IPL 2022 mega auction.
⦁ Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan was MI’s highest run-getter in the IPL this season. However, Kishan failed to deliver with the bat in the 1st leg of the IPL this season. In 5 matches in the 1st half of IPL 2021, Ishan Kishan managed to amass only 73 runs in total. The MI batsman also averaged a poor batting strike rate of 82.95 in the 1st leg of IPL 2021. Hence, there is a possibility that Kishan might get axed in the IPL 2022 auction.
⦁ Dwayne Bravo
West Indian all-rounder Dwayne Bravo struggled to find form in the 1st leg of the IPL this season. In 4 matches in the 1st half of IPL 2021, Bravo could manage to scalp only 3 wickets in total. Furthermore, Bravo scored only 20 runs with the bat in the 1st leg of the IPL this season. There is a strong chance that CSK might not retain Dwayne Bravo for the IPL next season.
