IPL 2022: 10 Players who can attract big bids in the mega auction

8) Mark Wood

Why wouldn’t any team want an express pacer like Mark Wood? The English speedster is probably one of those bowlers who might be wanted by almost all the franchises. Bowlers with extra pace are always a boon in the shortest format of the game.

Of late, the Durham pacer has significantly improved his T20 game. He has picked 26 wickets in 17 T20I matches and has a bowling average and strike rate of 20.96 and 14.65 respectively. His economy rate is 8.58, which is good considering he bowls the toughest overs.

Another important point to be noted is the fact that Wood can bowl his quicker deliveries in the death as well. This is something that every T20 captain dreams of. Hence, various franchises would have their eyes on Wood.
