IPL 2022: 5 players likely to attract 5x times or more salary
David Warner: It is no surprise that the Australian batter will have a bidding war for him. Warner has consistently performed in the IPL over the years. From 2014 till 2020 he has scored over 500 runs in every consecutive season of the IPL. Last season he scored 195 in 8 innings with an average of 24.37. Given his consistency and current form, he could easily cross the 10 Cr mark after having set the base price of 2 Cr for himself.
Pat Cummins: The 28-year-old Australian bowler will be a hot pick for any of the 10 teams. In IPL 2021 Cummins played 7 matches where he scalped 9 wickets with an average of 26.33. Even as a bowler he was quite handy with the bat after scoring 93 runs with a good average of 31.00. Considering his talent and his current form, Cummins will go big in the auction. He has set his base price at 2 Cr but can easily cross the 10 Cr mark.
Kagiso Rabada: The young South African pacer has consistently performed over the years in the IPL. He picked 25, 30, and 15 wickets in 2019, 2020, and 2021 editions of the IPL respectively. The potential purple cap winner has set his base price of 2 Cr but is likely to cross 10 Cr in the IPL Mega Auction when teams make a bidding war to acquire this ferocious bowler.
