IPL 2022: Top 5 expensive bowlers and their cost per ball in the season

The IPL 2022 is only less than three weeks away. On March 26th, the world’s biggest T20 league will renew its playing cycle. After IPL 2013, the tournament will again witness more than 8 teams participating in the competition.

However, to compete well this time, all 10 franchises have made ardent purchases in their bowling department. In fact with Indian pacers being desired the most, a total of 4 of them have fetched a salary of more than INR 10 Crore. Also not to forget that a few elites from the retention list are charging colossal amounts.

Hence in this list, let’s analyze the cost per ball of these top 5 expensive bowlers will receive in IPL 2022.

(Kindly note that the numbers are derived by assuming that a bowler will play all 14 games and finish his full quota of 4 overs each match.)

5. Harshal Patel: INR 3.19 Lakh/ball

In IPL 2021, Harshal Patel became a revelation for every franchise. For RCB, the pacer also resolved its death bowling woes. In total in the last IPL, the all-rounder scalped 32 wickets and even won the purple cap. However, in terms of his salary, the 31-year old merely received INR 20 Lakh.

Nevertheless, in IPL 2022, the spearhead is now rewarded with deserving figures. The red-army, by seizing him again, will offer INR 10.75 Cr each season. For each ball in IPL 2022, Harshal Patel will collect INR 3.19 Lakh.

Overall, the cricketer’s stunning performances have definitely brought a new vitality to the RCB camp. Yet again we hope that Harshal brims with wickets much like his new IPL salary.
