Players who can be most expensive in IPL 2022 Mega Auction
Speaking on his Youtube channel, former India opener Aakash Chopra mentioned six Indian names that will be the most expensive at the upcoming auctions. After the new franchises make their picks, there will still be a couple of popular names who will enter the auctions.
Chopra felt that Hardik Pandya, Harshal Patel, Rahul Chahar, Deepak Chahar, Ravichandran Ashwin and Shikhar Dhawan will earn huge bids at the auctions. He also gave reasons for his selection.
He felt that despite his injuries and form, teams will be interested in Hardik. Harshal has done well in all conditions and hence, the former Indian cricketer felt that he will get good value. Regarding the Chahar brothers, he opined that their attributes will fetch them a big bid at the event. R Ashwin’s current form is good, and since he is experienced, Chopra arrived at the opinion that many teams would target him. The same was the reasoning for selecting Shikhar Dhawan in the list.
Meanwhile, the likes of KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan could join the new franchises. Hence, they may not be present in the auctions.
