Dynamic English opener Jason Roy has withdrawn from IPL 2022 citing bio-bubble fatigue. Roy informed about his decision to the Gujarat Lions earlier. The new franchise had bought the South Africa-born cricketer for INR 2 crore which was also his base price at the IPL 2022 mega auction.

It is indeed a huge blow for the Titans as the 2019 World Cup winner was in the form of his life having amassed 303 runs in six matches at the recently-concluded PSL 2022 averaging 50.50 that included two half-centuries representing the Quetta Gladiators. While Gujarat are yet to name a replacement, they do have some great options available. So, without further ado, here’s a look at five of them.

Aaron Finch surprisingly went unsold at the IPL 2022 mega auction despite having led Australia to their maiden T20 World Cup triumph in the UAE a few months ago. No team was willing to buy him even at his base price of INR 1.5 crore. However, he now has a chance to open the innings for Gujarat Titans alongside youngster Shubman Gill.

Finch is currently the fifth-highest scorer in T20Is, having amassed 2,686 runs from 88 matches, and also has a wealth of experience under his belt playing for eight franchises in the marquee tournament between 2010 to 2020.

Therefore, the Australian white-ball captain could be a great option to replace Jason Roy for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League.
