David Warner is delighted to start afresh in the IPL at Delhi Capitals months after a bitter parting with Sunrisers Hyderabad. It was, in fact, a win-win situation for both Warner and the JSW and GMR co-owned franchise. As the 2022 IPL mega auction day progressed, the DC franchise's co-owner Parth Jindal found it increasingly difficult to believe that he has acquired the services of a "legend" at Rs 6.25 crore.
South African teenage cricket sensation Dewald Brevis was sold to the Mumbai Indians for 3 crore (R6 million) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction on Saturday.
India all-rounder Shardul Thakur on Saturday was acquired by Delhi Capitals for Rs 10.75 crores in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction. For Shardul, a bidding war took place between DC and Punjab Kings (PBKS), where the all-rounder went to Delhi in the end. DC also bought Bangladesh Pacer Mustafizur Rahman for Rs 2 crores. Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar got sold to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for Rs 4.2 crores after a bidding war between SRH, Lucknow Super Giants, and Mumbai Indians.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) acquired Deepak Chahar for INR 14 crore in the ongoing IPL 2022 Auction on Saturday to make him the most expensive Indian bowler in Indian Premier League history. The bowling all-rounder was involved in a mega bidding war involving CSK, Rajasthan Royals (RR), SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC). CSK eventually came out on top and outbid others. Chahar was also a crucial cog in MS Dhoni's plans last season as they went on to defeat Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the final. After IPL 2021, Chahar wasn't retained by CSK, but has been roped in right away in the ongoing auction. Fans and experts took to Twitter to laud the Team India cricketer, with Harbhajan Singh leading the wishes. "Wah Deepak pethaa bijwa dena ab ghar @deepak_chahar9 mehnat rang layi papa ki.Very happy for you and family #IPLMegaAuction2022 congratulations @ChennaiIPL Top performer 14 cr", said the former Team India spinner.
West Indies wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran was picked up by SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) for Rs 10.75 crore in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction.

Earlier, Wriddhiman Saha and Sam Billings went unsold in the auction while Ishan Kishan was picked up by Mumbai Indians for Rs 15.25 crore. Dinesh Karthik went to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Jonny Bairstow was acquired by Punjab Kings.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Saturday acquired the services of India pacer Deepak Chahar in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 mega auction in Bengaluru. He was bought by CSK for a whopping sum of INR 14 crore, becoming the highest paid bowler in the ongoing auction. Delhi Capitals and SunRisers Hyderabad started the bidding war for Chahar on Saturday. However, he was eventually sold to CSK, for whom he had been playing in the IPL before being released ahead of this player auction. CSK had retained four players and entered the auction with a purse of INR 48 crore.
With Team India currently gearing up for the upcoming T20I series vs West Indies, white-ball captain Rohit Sharma took to social media to share a photo of his teammates following the IPL 2022 auction. In the photo which Rohit Sharma posted as his Instagram story, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ishan Kishan, Shardul Thakur, Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav could be seen in a hotel room with their eyes glued to TV screen. Kishan and Iyer looked happy in the photo and have already been picked by Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). MI splashed INR 15.25 crore on the wicketkeeper-batter, which also made him the most expensive buy in the ongoing auction. He overtook Iyer, who was earlier picked for INR 12.25 crore by KKR.
Deepak Hooda was left "demoralised, depressed and under pressure" after a well documented spat with his Baroda state team captain, Krunal Pandya. England's swashbuckling batter Jos Buttler and India's premier spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had not seen eye to eye for a long time owing to a controversial run out episode during the 2019 edition of the lucrative league. However, the 2022 IPL mega auction, besides forcing the 10 franchises to break the banks in order to get their favourite players, has done another thing: turn these foes into teammates.
