The Indian Premier League mega auction is just few days away at teams are burning the midnight oil to get the right players for key positions.

One of the key strategies teams will employ is trying to lock up a high potential player who could add value for upcoming seasons.

The former Delhi Capitals captain is among the most sought-after players to be in the auction pool. He is arguably the No. 1 choice for many franchises for the captain's role in the IPL 2022 season. If rumours are to be believed, RCB have earmarked a whopping sum of INR 20 crore for Iyer.

Mumbai Indians did not retain Ishan Kishan ahead of the IPL mega auction with franchise opting to retain Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Kieron Pollard and Suryakumar Yadav. However, Ishan was a revelation for them in 2020. Ishan’s versatile skill set will not only make him bat in the top four but also perform the wicketkeeper duties.

Devdutt Padikkal's exit from RCB was also a shocking one and the Karnataka batsman who was one of the finds for RCB is on the wishlist of multiple teams.

Former Delhi Capitals opener Shikhar Dhawan could become the expensive player at the upcoming auction as the Delhi legend has been consistently scoring 500 runs every season.

Shahrukh has done well in the recently held Syed Mushtaq Ali and Vijay Hazare trophies. But, the Punjab Kings franchise did not retain this young gun and will participate in the IPL 2022 mega auction with a base price of INR 40 Lakhs.
