IPL 2022: Three Players Ahmedabad franchise might pick in drafts
10 teams will battle it out for the trophy in the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Two new franchises, Ahmedabad and Lucknow have now joined the mix from the 15th edition of the tournament.
All the 8 existing franchises announced the list of players that they would like to retain and now, both Ahmedabad and Lucknow can choose 3 players that they want from the list of players released. In this article, let us take a look at 3 players that the Ahmedabad side might want to pick before the mega auctions.
3. David Warner
David Warner boasts of a stellar record with the willow in IPL cricket. The Aussie batting legend is the 5th highest run-scorer in the history of the tournament and has amassed 5449 runs at a superb average of 41.59. Warner is also a batsman who can score runs quickly and impose himself on the opposition, and his strike rate of close to 140 in the IPL stands testimony to the same. He will surely be a name that the Ahmedabad franchise will look to buy in the IPL drafts.
2. Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravi Ashwin stunningly made a comeback to India’s T20I side for the T20 World Cup and has continued to impress in limited matches. Ashwin will turn out to be a good player to have for Ahmedabad with the pitch turning square at the venue most of the time. Ashwin’s variations keep batters on their tenterhooks and will turn out to be a decent pick.
1. Shreyas Iyer
This man might even be a possible captaincy option for the Ahmedabad franchise. Shreyas Iyer led the Delhi Capitals side in the 2020 edition of the IPL with aplomb, as the franchise reached the summit clash of the tournament. Also, Iyer has been in good form in IPL cricket in the last 2 seasons. In the last 2 seasons put together, Iyer has scored 694 runs in 25 innings.
