IPL 2022: 5 Players who turned out to be surprise packages

The Indian premier league is the platform where talent meets opportunities, and this year is no strange to that as fans have seen some surprising performances from players whom fans didn’t expect at the start of the season. These players have been pivotal to their team’s performance by adding strength to the concerned department i.e batting, bowling, and fielding.

This kind of good performance is crucial for them so that their respective franchise can retain them for next year’s tournament and it may even lead to them getting their entry into their national side. Now let’s look at-

5 players who surprised with their performances in IPL 2022

1. Jitesh Sharma

Jitesh Sharma has been one of the promising stars to come out of this year’s IPL with his finishing ability providing Punjab wins on multiple occasions. The right-handed wicketkeeper-batter from Maharashtra was picked by the franchise at this year’s auction but had to wait for a couple of games to get his first bite at the cherry against CSK.

Since then Jitesh has been a constant among the playing XI for the Punjab Kings with Shahrukh Khan making way for him due to his not-so-good batting performance. Even though PKBS has been knocked out of the 2022 IPL, Jitesh has been one of their positives to look forward to the next season.

In his 12 matches, Jitesh has scored 234 runs at an average of 29.25 with his strike rate being 163.63. He made every use of the opportunities given to him to showcase the quality of skill he has. He has the flair to be one of India’s best finishers soon.
