Over the years we have seen players like Kyle Jamieson, Corey Anderson, Glenn Maxwell, and Kieron Pollard performing well just ahead of the mega auctions. It was Jamieson’s terrific performance against India in the Test series in 2020 that landed him a lucrative deal in the IPL. Ahead of the mega auctions in 2022, we have seen players like Jason Roy, Prasidh Krishna, and Tim David perform well.

IPL 2022: Before IPL Auction on Saturday, timely reminders by 5 cricketers to IPL teams ‘ignore us at your own peril’
1: Jason Roy
England opening batter Jason Roy is one of the most destructive openers in white-ball cricket. He yet again showed his brute power when he blitzed his way to a 49-ball century against Lahore Qalanders. The right-hand batter Jason Holder was exceptional and did not show any mercy towards any bowlers. Jason Holder who can go bang from the word go is what the franchises would be looking at in the auctions.

Over the past few years in IPL, we have seen most teams adopt a conservative approach in the power play. Things though might change this year as teams seek to score maximum runs in the mandatory six overs. Roy fits the bill perfectly, but the only thing that might go against him is his track record in IPL. In 13 IPL games, Jason Holder has scored 329 runs. This year the England opener might get enough chances.

2: Prasidh Krishna
India fast bowler Prasidh Krishna bowled magnificently in the second ODI against West Indies. He picked four wickets and broke the back of the visitors’ batting order. Krishna’s ability to hit the deck hard and extract bounce makes him a dangerous customer. He can consistently clock speeds above 140 with excellent control.
The lanky pacer’s IPL record is also decent as he has picked up 30 wickets in 34 matches. Indian fast bowlers have always been a hot property among franchisees, and Krishna’s outstanding performance might land him a lucrative contract in the upcoming mega auction.

3: Jason Holder
West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder has well and truly arrived as a multi-faceted player. There was never a doubt about his fast bowling, but the question remained about his batting ability. Holder has ticked that box by contributing consistently for West Indies in all three formats of the game. The 2021 IPL season was his best as he picked up 16 wickets and scored 85 runs for SRH in 8 games.

All-rounders have always been in the limelight in the IPL due to their game-changing abilities. With Ben Stokes not there and with Hardik Pandya and Glenn Maxwell and Moeen Ali retained by respective franchises, the West Indies all-rounder remains one of the few players who franchises will be looking to bid for.

4: Deepak Hooda
After a long wait for about close to three years, Deepak Hooda finally made his debut for India in the first ODI against West Indies. The all-rounder immediately made an impact by closing out a run-chase by remaining unbeaten on 26. In the second ODI also the all-rounder contributed 29 and enabled India to get to a score of 237. Hooda has grabbed his opportunities with both hands and has shown game awareness.

Hooda was not retained by PBKS ahead of the auction. His stocks though have risen multi-fold due to his good start to his international career. He has played 80 IPL games and has scored 785 runs. Hooda has also picked nine wickets in 28 innings. The Baroda all-rounder has not had a breakthrough season in the IPL yet, but this might just be his year.
5: Tim David
Singapore-born Tim David might be an offbeat name in the list, but fearless striking and his death-hitting prowess might land him a lucrative IPL deal. Tim David has scored the most runs in death overs in the last 12 months in BBL, CPL, Hundred, and PSL. In this year’s PSL, Tim Davidstruck a fifty off just 19 balls.
His can get going quickly and can hit sixes consistently. Few IPL teams do not have designated finishers, and the 25-year-old’s rich vein of form might attract few bids among franchises.
