The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-rankings-top-10-fielders-of-this-season/">IPL 2022</a> has just reached its halfway stage. A debutant- GT and underdogs RCB are the current table toppers. The heavyweights like MI, CSK, and DC are placed at the bottom of the points table.

In this IPL, even the retained players of many franchises have drastically underperformed. Big names like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma collectively just average around 20 in the ongoing season. However, the uncapped young talent has been the biggest positive trait of IPL 2022.

Overall, amidst players who are retained or bought, a few individuals have already resulted in blunders for their franchises. Therefore in this list, let’s check out these 5 names who have stumbled badly in IPL 2022.

Matthew Wade proficiently made his IPL comeback based on his 2021 World T20 heroics. The cricketer who can flexibly bat anywhere in the top seven seemed to be an undervalued T20 commodity. However, his current stint with <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/gujarat-titans-are-dependent-on-two-to-three-batters-wasim-jaffer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GT</a> has been very disappointing.

For the Gujarat franchise, Wade is also their ace overseas batter along with David Miller. So far the southpaw has just accumulated 68 runs in his five appearances. By exhibiting an average of 13.6, the gloveman has raised many question marks regarding his IPL 2022 selection. Maybe, the Gujarat management could have shopped a better proportion than Matthew Wade instead of spending INR 2.4 crore on him.

The 34-year-old had also missed the last game against CSK. Unfortunately, if Wade’s malfunction further continues then it will become one fly in the ointment of GT’s triumphing season.

<img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-628166 size-full" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Chris-Jordan.jpg" alt="Chris Jordan" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-628166" class="wp-caption-text">Chris Jordan. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

Chris Jordan is a much more popular name in many T20 leagues. In IPL 2022, the cricketer has now started a new chapter with the iconic Chennai franchise. Mainly as a backup of DJ Bravo, Jordan was signed for INR 3.6 crore in the 2022 auction. However, with injuries surrounding CSK bowlers, Jordan has become one of the mainstays in the bowling attack.

But the 33-year-old has been mediocre with his primary skill. In his four appearances, the pacer has just scalped two wickets that too at a poor economy. So far Jordan’s economy of 10.5 is almost at par with what the run rate is in the death overs of IPL 2022 (11.5).

Though the Englishman is regarded as a death-over specialist, his IPL career economy stands above nine. Maybe, the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-rashid-khan-smashes-chris-jordan-for-22-runs-in-18th-over-against-csk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CSK</a> management could have bid extra for their old spearheads like Josh Hazlewood rather than settling with Jordan’s ambiguous bowling.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-406237" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Vijay-Shankar.jpg" alt="Vijay Shankar India" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-406237" class="wp-caption-text">Vijay Shankar. (Photo by Kai Schwoerer/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Before joining GT, Vijay Shankar was part of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sunrisers-hyderabad-have-got-quality-bowling-attack-nikhil-chopra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SRH</a> family. The cricketer for Hyderabad used to bat in the middle-order. As the orange army had the likes of Manish Pandey at number three, Shankar played as a floater. However in IPL 2022, despite batting at his comfortable position, the bloke has severely failed.

Batting at number three for Gujarat, the 31-year-old has just scored 19 runs. In his four appearances so far, the all-rounder averages just 4.75. Somehow the individual has failed to even survive or rotate his strike at the crease. Maybe at INR 1.4 crore, the Titans could have signed a younger talent rather than Shankar’s dingy batting.

As GT also carries bleak options to replace him, Shankar’s breakdown will become a big clanger for the franchise. However, they would hope that soon Shankar will turn around his dreadful 2022 season.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-623868" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Rovman-Powell.jpg" alt="Rovman Powell" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-623868" class="wp-caption-text">Rovman Powell (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

During the mega auction, Rovman Powell had made big headlines while representing WI. Even in his recent sub-continent trip, the cricketer played some impressive T20 knocks. His power-hitting skill seemed to be tailor-made to fetch him an exciting IPL contract. As result, the DC franchise signed Powell for whopping INR 2.8 crore in the ongoing season.

In the initial games, the 28-year-old also played as a marquee overseas player of the team. But unfortunately, the IPL 2022 hasn’t found Powell firing with full cylinders. So far in his five appearances, the WI cricketer has only scored 31 runs at an average of 6.20. In general, the Delhi think-tank had bagged this Caribbean to carry the role of Marcus Stoinis.

Overall, despite getting a promotion in one of the games, Powell hasn’t made any mark. Maybe the batter has been a bit reckless when it comes to pasting his innings. All in all, with overseas names like <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/reports-mitchell-marsh-tests-positive-for-covid-19-four-members-of-delhi-capitals-unit-identified-close-contacts/">Mitchell Marsh</a> also being unavailable, Powell has to turn his blunders into big achievements.

(Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

Interestingly in LSG’s batting order, everyone is in top-notch form except Manish Pandey. The veteran batter has been awful for his new franchise. Despite batting at his comforting position, Pandey hasn’t provided any stability to Lucknow’s batting. Performance-wise, the 32-year-old has just scored 60 runs in his four games.

Fortunately, this IPL veteran’s shortfall seems to be the only chink in Lucknow’s armor. However, under the umbrella of mentor Gautam Gambhir, Pandey is not expected to score runs but also revive his white-ball game. Averaging just 15 so far, the cricketer has brought LSG’s selection into question.

Overall, maybe at a sizable amount of INR 4.6 crore, the franchise could have picked some other viable batter. But hopefully, his last score of 38 runs against MI might now help him brim with runs.

The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-rankings-top-10-fielders-of-this-season/">IPL 2022</a> has just reached its halfway stage. A debutant- GT and underdogs RCB are the current table toppers. The heavyweights like MI, CSK, and DC are placed at the bottom of the points table.

IPL 2022: 5 Auction picks that are turning out to be blunders for teams

Big names with promising careers in international cricket, bought with fat cheques but failing to make their mark in IPL 2022.
