5 players who have made a comeback after a long time in IPL 2022

1. Aaron Finch (last season: 2020)

Australia’s limited-overs skipper has played for numerous IPL teams over the years. For a solid batter in the limited-overs format, Aaron Finch’s numbers are not satisfactory. He has managed to score just 2070 runs in 89 IPL games so far, averaging a meagre 25.88.

Finch was a part of RCB during the 2020 season. During his time with RCB, he got ample amount of chances to prove himself. But in 12 games, he scored just 268 runs. Later on, he was released by RCB.

He was left unsold in the 2021 as well as in the 2022 mega auction. However, Finch came in as a replacement for Alex Hales. His absence for over one and half years and decent performances for KKR this season have somehow shown that he has made a comeback.
