A total of 228 capped players, 355 uncapped players and seven players from associate nations are amongst the 590 who have registered.
The retention event ahead of the IPL 2022 took place in December last year. Virat Kohli, who relinquished Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captaincy, was retained by his franchise (Rs 15 crore), along with Australia’s Glenn Maxwell (Rs 11 crores) and Mohammad Siraj (Rs 7 crore).
Similarly, the likes of MS Dhoni (Rs 12 crores) and Rohit Sharma ( Rs 16 crore) were retained by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) respectively.
However, there were some big names released by franchises. David Warner, who was sacked as SRH skipper midway through IPL 2021, and his opening partner in Hyderabad, Jonny Bairstow, were among those who were released.
Other big names included KL Rahul (Rs 17 crore) and Hardik Pandya (Rs 15 crore), but they have found new teams in Lucknow and Gujarat respectively. They will lead their respective franchises.
Lucknow’s other draft picks include Australian Marcus Stoinis (Rs 9.4 crore) and Ravi Bishnoi (Rs 4 crore). Gujarat, meanwhile, announced Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan (Rs 15 crore) and Shubman Gill (Rs 8 crore) as their other draft picks.
Apart from David Warner, other big names to go under the hammer will be pacer Pat Cummins and Kagiso Rabada among a few. Some star players like Chris Gayle and Ben Stokes have, however, decided to give the upcoming season a miss.
The excitement is building up, and this IPL season looks set to be a closely-contested affair.
