IPL 2022 is underway right now in Maharashtra, where 10 franchises are competing against each other to win the prestigious trophy. The Indian Premier League has expanded from eight to 10 teams this year, giving opportunities to more players. Because of bio-bubble rules, each team has its own set of net bowlers in the league.
