IPL 2022: Superstar Cricketers Who Might Go Home Without an IPL 2022 Contract
5) Ishant Sharma
Ishant Sharma is the veteran Indian pacer for team India since 2007. He made his IPL debut in 2008 with Kolkata Knight Riders. Sharma is a crucial player for India’s test team right now. However, his last IPL season and his recent form have seen a sudden dip.
Sharma has not been part of India’s white-ball scheme of things for some time now and did not play in South Africa despite being in the Test squad. having so many better options in the draft, there is a possibility that he might not see a contract in IPL mega auction.
4) Piyush Chawla
Piyush Chawla is one of the most successful spinners in the Indian Premier League. He is the fourth-highest wicket-taker in IPL after Lasith Malinga, Dwayne Bravo, and Amit Mishra. In 165 matches, Chawla has picked up 157 wickets.
In IPL 2021, Chawla just played one match with Mumbai Indians and was not at all successful. He is already out of the national team and has not played any cricket in the past year. All the IPL teams would like to buy someone who is in form and has the flow of bowling for the past year.
3) Ajinkya Rahane
If given a chance, every critic of Indian cricket would like to advise Rahane to stay away from Indian cricket. This change has occurred after his constant below-average performance in international cricket. After getting a release from Delhi Capitals, Rahane has registered himself under a 1 Crore slab for mega auction.
His IPL 2021 record was poor and in IPL 2020 as well his contribution to the team was below average. All the IPL teams have much better options in the same slab as Rahane to bid for and the list has more deserving players.
2) Eoin Morgan
Eoin Morgan is one of the brilliant T20 players which sports have seen in the recent past. He is also responsible to take England’s limited over cricket to new heights. Morgan’s leadership skills were visible in last year’s IPL tournament where he took Kolkata Knight Riders to the finals.
However, his individual contribution was completely missing from the tournament. In 17 matches, he just scored 133 runs at a strike rate of 95. This is a below-average performance from a batsman like Morgan. He has registered himself in a slab of 1.5 Crore and no team would like to spend this much money on a player like Eoin Morgan.

1) Jaydev Unadkat
Jaydev Unadkat made headlines in the 2017 edition of IPL by becoming the highest wicket-taker of the tournament. The 2017 Purple Cap holder was not at all effective for Rajasthan Royals in the last two seasons of IPL. Unadkat has only taken 29 wickets in 39 games across four seasons for RR. In IPL 2021, Jaydev just appeared for 6 games in the tournament and scalped 4 wickets at an economy of 7.64.
In IPL 2020, he was part of just 7 games for Rajasthan Royals and couldn’t pick up more than 4 wickets at an economy of 9.91. Unadkat is now a forgotten hero and won’t be able to get any deal from IPL 2022 mega auction.
