IPL 2022 Mega Auction is going to be held in Bangalore shortly. This time 10 teams will play in IPL. After the entry of 2 new teams in IPL, there are chances of record breaking bids in the mega auction of 2022. There are 5 players on whom money can rain in this mega auction. Let's take a look at those players:

1. Ishaan Kishan

Mumbai Indians wicket-keeper batsman Ishan Kishan is sure to get a huge amount in the mega auction. The new franchise Lucknow is eyeing this wicket-keeper batsman for IPL 2022. Ishan Kishan, who became a part of Team India's limited overs team, has scored 1452 runs in 61 matches of IPL at an average of 28.47 and strike rate of 136.34. However, Ishan Kishan was able to score just 241 runs in 10 matches of IPL 2021 at an average of 26.77 and strike rate of 133.88. At the beginning of last season, Kishan, who was out of form, played some explosive innings in the last few matches. This time the franchise can pay a huge amount to get Ishaan Kishan in their favor.

2. Shubman Gill

In Tests, Team India's opener Shubhman Gill is a brilliant player even in the shortest format. In the last season (IPL 2021), Kolkata Knight Riders opener Shubman Gill has left his mark in a short IPL career. Cricket experts are also very impressed with this player. Looking at the current form, this young opener released from KKR is sure to get a big bid in the mega auction. Shubman Gill has played 58 matches in his IPL career, in which he has scored 1417 runs at an average of 31.49. Shubman Gill has a strike rate of 123 during this period. At the same time, in the last season, Gill scored 478 runs in 17 matches at a strike rate of 118.90 and an average of 28.11.

3. Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan, who played for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2021, had a great run as an opener in the last season. Dhawan, playing the role of opener along with Prithvi Shaw, scored 587 runs in 16 matches for Delhi Capitals. However, this time he was not retained by the franchise. But the team owner has indicated that he will try his best to buy Gabbar in the mega auction. However, this might be difficult due to the small amount in the purse. This time up to 5-10 crores can be bid on Dhawan. Shikhar is one of the most successful batsmen of this league. Dhawan has scored 5783 runs in 192 IPL matches at an average of 34.63 and strike rate of 126.63. Apart from 2 centuries, Dhawan has also scored 44 half-centuries in this tournament.

4. Faf du Plessis

IPL 2021 was a great one for former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis, who was successful as an opener in the IPL. In IPL 2021, Faf du Plessis, who was the opening partner of Rituraj Gaikwad, scored a lot of runs for the team throughout the season. Faf had scored 633 runs in 16 matches and he was just 2 runs behind Rituraj Gaikwad, otherwise the Orange Cap would have been on his head. However, due to the retention of Rituraj Gaikwad, this player was released by CSK. Looking at his recent form as an opener in the IPL, all the eyes of the franchise are on Faf du Plessis. Big bidding can be done on this player in the mega auction. Faf has played 100 matches in his IPL career, in which he has scored 2935 runs while remaining unbeaten 9 times. Faf du Plessis has also scored 22 fifties in IPL.

5. Devdutt Padikkal

IPL 2021 was memorable for young batsman Devdutt Padikkal, who played the role of an opener for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Opening with captain Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal scored his first century of the T20 league (RCB vs RR) against Rajasthan Royals in a match. 21-year-old Padikkal scored an unbeaten 101 in 51 balls with the help of 11 fours and 6 sixes against Rajasthan Royals. Padikkal got a chance to debut for Team India on the Sri Lanka tour due to his excellent performance in the IPL. Padikkal scored 328 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of 125.30 in the 2021 season. During this, he had 1 century and 1 half-century in his account.
