3 Teams Which Can Target Suryakumar Yadav In IPL 2022 Auction

The Indian middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav might miss out on being retained in the Mumbai Indians squad if the mega auction takes and the other franchises will fancy getting him. Suryakumar Yadav has been performing consistently for the franchise in the last three years and despite his performances, it is unfortunate that he might not get the nod.

Mumbai Indians have had a strong core of Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah, which might not work in the favour of Suryakumar Yadav. He scored 173 runs in the 7 games this season and was the second-highest run-scorer for the franchise.

Here are 3 teams that can target Suryakumar Yadav in IPL 2022 Auction.

3 Teams Which Can Target Suryakumar Yadav In IPL 2022 Auction

Chennai Super Kings:

Chennai Super Kings have had a strong Indian contingent throughout their journey but they might not retain MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina as the age factor comes into play and they will need to add some more match winners to their side. Suryakumar Yadav can certainly do the job for them.

Suryakumar Yadav is a versatile batsman and he can bat anywhere in the batting order. With Suresh Raina not having the same impact as before, it might tempt Chennai Super Kings to get in Suryakumar Yadav in the lineup who is very consistent. He is also an excellent player of spin bowling and CSK will benefit a lot if they could get him in.

Delhi Capitals:

Delhi Capitals have a strong Indian contingent too with Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer almost certainties to be retained. They might also retain one of the openers from the likes of Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan which looks like a great batting lineup already. It could be boosted even more with the inclusion of Suryakumar Yadav into the squad.

Delhi might need some experienced campaigners and Suryakumar Yadav has tons of experience in IPL and the domestic circuit. He is one of those players who could play the anchor role as well as take the attack to the bowling side. He can be used at opening position alongside Prithvi Shaw or even at three, deepening the batting order with Iyer at four and Pant at five.

Royal Challengers Bangalore:

Probably, Royal Challengers Bangalore will need the services of Suryakumar more than any other team due to their lack of experienced Indian batsmen. Apart from Virat Kohli, the side does not have many seasoned campaigners who can do the job on a consistent basis. The likes of Rajat Patidar and Shabaz Ahmed haven’t made significant contributions and it is time for RCB to look out for a strong Indian contingent.

Adding Suryakumar might just be the best option for the Royal Challengers Bangalore as he can solidify the batting order at three. With Padikkal and Kohli expected to open, and with Devilliers in the middle order, Suryakumar can do wonders for the franchise. Royal Challengers Bangalore should target the Mumbai batsmen who will have a huge role to play in any franchise he gets picked up.
