Here we take a look at 5 players who can break the 20 Cr limit in the upcoming auction.
Shreyas Iyer: The former skipper of the Delhi Capitals will be a hot pick for any of the 10 IPL franchise teams. With 175 runs in 8 matches and an average of 35.00, in IPL 2021, the 27-year-old batter has had a decent season. But his consistent form and performance in the Indian National team will certainly work in favour of crossing the 20 Cr mark.
Ishan Kishan: The 23-year-old fiery batter will be placed in the auction draft after Mumbai Indian’s decided not to retain this aggressive batter. The wicket-keeping batsman scored 241 runs in 10 games last season with a healthy average of 26.77. With the last salary of 6.20 Cr, this uprising superstar will be on the buy list of most teams.

Trent Boult: The Kiwi pacer was one of the most consistent performers in the last version of IPL, i.e IPL 2021. With 13 important wickets in 14 games and a good average of 31.23, the 32-year-old pacer will not find any difficulty in achieving a high price in the auction after the Mumbai Indians decided not to retain him. Being one of the most disciplined bowlers in the competition, Boult can easily cross the 20 Cr barrier in the upcoming IPL 2022 mega auction.
David Warner: After not being retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad, David Warner will surely be one of the topmost sought players in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. He had a pretty decent season last year and ended up scoring 195 runs in 8 matches with an average of 24.37. All of the 10 teams would be eager to bolster their batting lineup by taking David Warner, and thus his bidding price can easily cross 20 Cr.
Mitchell Marsh: The Australian all-rounder has been in red hot form in 2021 and his performance in the ongoing Big Bash League has been exceptional. He has scored 314 runs in just 6 innings with a jaw-dropping average of 78.50 in the ongoing Big Bash League. His bowling stats are good too. Scalping 5 wickets in 5 innings, he has a healthy average of 25.40. A player in such a peak form would naturally attack the eyes of the IPL teams, and thus the Australian can easily cross the 20 Cr salary tag.
