IPL 2022 Auction: 4 Indian Players At INR 1 Crore Base Price Who Might Go Unsold In Mega Auction

Kedar Jadhav

Jadhav has played for CSK, Delhi Capitals, RCB and SRH in the past in the cash-rich league. However, the Indian cricketer is might go unsold from the 1crore category because he has not played any cricket in recent times. He played his last international match for India in 2017 and since then has been a forgotten name in Indian cricket. He is 36 years of age now which is something the franchises might take into account before bidding for him.

Wriddhiman Saha

Saha warmed the benches for the most part of his stay with Sunrisers Hyderabad. The presence of Jonny Bairstow in the lineup meant that Saha was always seen as a backup option. He is 36 years of age and only plays Test cricket for India. The age is on the higher side of a few Indian cricketers who might see them being overlooked in the upcoming auction and Saha might be one of them.

Piyush Chawla

Since his stint with KKR from 2014 to 2019, Piyush Chawla has not got many opportunities in the IPL. He was picked by CSK but not given many games. He was with Mumbai Indians in IPL 2021 but was given just one game. In the last two seasons, he has played just eight matches in the IPL. This is a sign that franchises have looked beyond him and might not consider him for selection. 

Jayant Yadav

Janay Yadav is the last player in this 1 crore category who might be overlooked in the IPL 2022 mega auction. He was released by Delhi Capitals ahead of the auctions and might fail to find a franchise given that there will be a younger and more skilful spinner on show at the auction.
