IPL 2022: Best overseas XI of the league

There are many leagues all around the world now, but the success of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is incomparable by a huge margin. One of the main reasons for the prosperity of the IPL is the cooperation and support given by the overseas cricket boards and their players.

This year, 35 players from Australia, 20 from New Zealand, 19 from West Indies, 17 from England, 14 from South Africa, nine from Sri Lanka, seven from Afghanistan, four from Bangladesh, and one player each from the associate nations Nepal, USA, and UAE participated in the mega auction.

Out of these, a total of 67 overseas players from various countries were sold in the mega auction and including the retained list, 77 of them will feature in this edition of the IPL. Among the 77 foreign players, let us take a look at the best XI of the IPL this year.

1. David Warner

David Warner is one of the finest batters in the Indian Premier League and a trophy-winning IPL captain. He started his IPL career in 2009 for Delhi Daredevils and after being an integral part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad side, he now marks his comeback to the Delhi franchise once again.

As the rift between Warner and the SRH management was evident, he parted ways with the team after eight long years and participated in the auction as a marquee player. He was then picked by the Delhi Capitals side for just INR 6.25 Crores.

The southpaw was expected to attract a big deal for his experience and his form in the T20 World Cup, but he was sold for just half of his previous price. Being the orange cap holder for most of the times and also the highest overseas run-scorer in the IPL, Warner can’t be ignored from this list.
