IPL 2022: Virat Kohli – The recently dethroned India captain will be desperate to end his recent dry run with the bat, having not scored an international century since November 2019, and finally win an IPL title.
Kohli, 33, who has also stepped down as Bangalore skipper, has been the team’s go-to batsman alongside the now-retired AB de Villiers. This season they will have veteran fellow South African Faf du Plessis.
Commentator Harsha Bhogle believes Bangalore will be in contention for their maiden title if “King Kohli” delivers 75 percent of his 973 runs in 2016 when his team finished runners-up.

IPL 2022: Check why Liam Livingstone, Virat Kohli, David Warner will be the most-watched player in IPL 2022
IPL 2022: Liam Livingstone – Punjab broke the bank for the England batsman and occasional spinner as the 28-year-old became the most expensive overseas player in this season’s auction at Rs. 11.50 crore.
Livingstone, who hit England’s fastest T20 century, in 42 balls, in a game against Pakistan last year, adds muscle to a Punjab batting line-up that includes skipper Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan and England teammate Jonny Bairstow.
But former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar said having Livingstone, who had an ordinary last season with Rajasthan Royals, will be a “gamble” for Punjab.

IPL 2022: David Warner – The swashbuckling opener parted ways with Sunrisers Hyderabad after a poor season last year and joins Delhi Capitals under coach and fellow Australian Ricky Ponting.
The 35-year-old silenced his critics with a key role in Australia’s maiden T20 World Cup triumph.
With 5,449 runs in 150 IPL matches, Warner will boost the batting-line up for Delhi, led by wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, who are still searching for their maiden IPL title.

Rashid Khan – It was a coup for the IPL newcomers to get the Afghan spin wizard for Rs. 15 crore in the draft pick ahead of the auction.
He has bagged 105 wickets in 58 T20 internationals with his leg-spin and was a key player for Sunrisers Hyderabad with 93 scalps in 76 IPL matches.
Rashid, 23, is one of the hottest properties in world cricket and beats the best with a deadly googly. He is also an excellent fielder and useful lower-order batsman.

IPL 2022: Sunil Narine – A veteran of nearly 400 T20 matches, the bowling all-rounder will be key to Kolkata’s hopes of going one better than their runners-up finish last year.
Narine’s mystery spin and his ability to score quick runs as a left-handed batsman in the top or middle order helped Kolkata to title wins in 2012 and 2014.
The 33-year-old was retained along with fellow West Indian Andre Russell by Kolkata. Harsha Bhogle called him a “T20 franchise beast”.
