The mind-boggling IPL 2022 mega auction has finally ended. 10 franchises took part in the event held in Bengaluru and splurged eye-popping cash on buying some of the biggest names in T20 cricket from around the world. Each team came up with a solid strategy and the manner of their aggressive bids on certain players made it all but clear whom they had penciled in as a “must have”.
Each team had to build a squad comprising a minimum of 17 players which shouldn’t exceed beyond 25. Ishan Kishan was the story of the mega auction, landing the richest deal among all the players who went under the hammer. His India teammate Deepak Chahar was the second most expensive buy while Shreyas Iyer completed the top-three.
