Team-wise three expensive players who can be released ahead of IPL 2022 mega auction

While the current IPL 2021 season might be basing itself on a temporary halt, the next IPL season is purely going to get based on a mega auction. Since various reports from the BCCI have predominantly spoken about the addition of two new teams, the 15th season of the IPL, in general, will attain a complete refurbishment- both in terms of teams and the players representing them.

Although the core or the chief players of the various franchises will be expected to continue to serve their boundless overhaul, the expensive buys and acquisitions, in particular, might face an unpleasant situation of exclusion or a temporary release. Still, to prove their true worth or at least to make a case of buyback, the remainder of the IPL 2021 might be a fitting platform for them but the overall dynamics of the mega auction still might prevail major omissions.

Three players that might be released by teams before IPL 2022 mega auction

1. CSK – Krishnappa Gowtham, DJ Bravo, Karn Sharma

Krishnappa Gowtham, who was recently bought at a whopping amount of INR 9.25 Crores was actually fetched as a reserve player especially for senior pros like Moeen Ali or Ravindra Jadeja. His explosive batting along with some spin bowling had allured CSK to bag him as a lower-middle order proposition but his inflated price tag would surely propel the management to dispose of him before the mega auction. At present in IPL 2021, K Gowtham was mainly warming the benches because of match-winning causes of the senior pros and eventually might face a disheartening release before the next IPL.

Dwayne Bravo, who was once a premier match-winner of the CSK contingent is sadly towards the very tail end of his legendary career and might get discontinued for the next season. By once being the best pacer in business in the shortest format and also for CSK, sadly his shrewd bowling has now received an odious fade eventually also making him lose his bona fide establishment in the playing XI. At present, this CSK legend currently receives a salary of INR 6.4 Crores but retention for the next season highly looks elusive for the all-rounder.

Karn Sharma, who was mainly bagged as a cover for the front-line leg-spinner Imran Tahir, is eventually been paid a salary of INR 5 Crores every season. However, his all-rounder services have been barely utilized by CSK, merely casting the spinners in 12 games from the last three editions. Also, in terms of his performances, the all-rounder has barely produced some incredible causes which eventually might propel the team to discard him for the next season.
