IPL
These are defeats that each team buys for cash
IPL 2022 is full of people and noise. The IPL bids farewell to action and thrill with the best scores, the best run chases and the number of innings.
Each player has tried to put out their best performance for their team. But some players have not been able to maintain the team’s confidence.
From uncapped players to senior players to why T20 specialists have suffered such defeats. In this way, we can examine the players who were able to cash in on each team but failed to put out a good performance.
Mumbai Indians – Kieron Pollard
The season was a huge defeat for the multiple-time champions Mumbai Indians. The team is bidding farewell to IPL 2022 after finishing last season and coming out first.
The biggest loss for the Mumbai Indians this season was Caribbean hard hitter Kieron Pollard. The player, who was retained for Rs 6 crore, could not do anything for the team. Pollard, who was the backbone of the Mumbai Indians in the past, was the biggest loser in IPL 2022. (Captain Rohit Sharma can be included in this category to some extent)
Chennai Super Kings – Ravindra Jadeja
Former captain Ravindra Jadeja was the team’s biggest weekend leg. When he had to overload the captaincy, he saw Jadeja on the field forgetting his classic style of play. It was the captaincy that crushed Judd, who had retained Rs 16 crore.
After all, the captaincy was restored and the player was eventually dropped from the team (let alone Raina’s).
Sunrisers Hyderabad – Kane Williamson
Kane Williamson, the captain of Sunrisers, was a player who forgot that laughter is not enough to win a game. One of the all-time greats who helped New Zealand win the Test Championship was seen playing Test cricket in the IPL.
The Sunrisers management could only hope that the captain, who was retained for Rs 14 crore, would be nothing. (Warner forgives you)
Kolkata Knight Riders – Shivam Mavi
The right-handed pacer was brought to the team by Kolkata for Rs 7.5 crore. However, Mavi played six matches for KKR as he got better and better.
He conceded 227 runs in those six matches at an average of 10.32 and an average of 45.40. He took only 5 wickets.
Punjab Kings – Mayank Agarwal
Mayank Agarwal is the next captain to disappoint in IPL 2022. Mayank was the player who retained Punjab for Rs 12 crore. But the star has not been able to pull off the game for that. Mayank scored just 196 runs in 12 innings of 13 matches at an average of just 16.33.
Delhi Capitals – Shardul Thakur
Shardul Thakur, a right-handed bowler from Delhi Capitals, was the most disappointing in the team. Thakur was brought in for Rs 10.75 crore but his performance did not materialize.
He conceded 473 runs in 14 matches at an economy of 9.79.
Royal Challengers Bangalore – Mohammad Siraj
Siraj was one of the best performers for RCB in the last few seasons. But this time around, Siraj was a player who could not repeat that performance and became one of the heroes of the season.
Siraj was retained by the RCB for Rs 7 crore. But it was the worst performance of his career this season. (Until the middle of the season, Virat Kohli was in the same category)
Lucknow Super Giants – Marcus Stoines
Australia all-rounder Marcus Stotins has been named in the Lucknow squad for Rs 9 crore 20 lakh. But the star was not able to pull off that all-round performance.
The Stones have scored just 156 runs at an average of 19.50 from 11 games played this season. In bowling, he took just four wickets in 11.29 economy.
Rajasthan Royals – Ryan Parag
Rajasthan brought their youngster back to the team for Rs 3.80 crore. Despite his excellent performance on the field, Parag was a failure as an all-rounder. He scored 183 runs in 14 matches at an average of 16.64.
He bowled for Rajasthan in four matches and conceded 59 runs at an economy of 14.75.
Gujarat Titans – Matthew Wade
The Gujarat Titans brought in the Wade for Rs 2.40 crore. Wade was a player who got opportunities but failed to do so.
He played in 10 matches this season and scored only 157 runs at an average of 15.70. The strike rate is 113.77.
