IPL 2022: Team-wise one player who has been underused
A few players in IPL 2022 could have been used better by their respective teams.
9. PBKS – Sandeep Sharma
Sandeep Sharma is an experienced campaigner in the IPL. He had been the spearhead of the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise’s bowling line-up. He has taken 114 wickets in 103 matches with a superb economy of 7.74. He has been a consistent performer with the new ball and gets crucial wickets in the powerplay. He can seam the bowl both ways early on in the innings.
However, in IPL 2022, he has played only 4 games taking two wickets. He has gained a lot of experience from his long IPL career. He knows how to take wickets in the powerplay. Sandeep Sharma is someone who cannot be ignored for long as he can add immense value to the playing 11, especially when there is some movement for the bowlers. He was one of the important members of the title-winning 2016 squad of Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Sandeep Sharma can be an asset on the Mumbai pitches as they help seamers in the powerplay. Punjab is going to play their “all attack, no matter what” approach but that may increase the probability of a collapse. Though the likes of Sandeep Sharma and Arshdeep Singh can make help when such instances occur. Under-using Sandeep Sharma can make life tough for the Punjab Kings. If they want to cruise ahead in the fight for play-offs, he cannot be neglected.
