IPL 2022 Auction: 5 Players SunRisers Hyderabad Should Look To Buy

10 teams, including the two new franchises -- Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans -- are set to battle it out for some of the biggest names in world cricket at the upcoming IPL 2022 mega auction. A total of 590 players have registered for the mega event, which is scheduled to be held from February 12 to 13 in Bengaluru. Ahead of the auction, the 2016 champions SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) have retained just three players -- Kane Williamson, Abdul Samad and Umran Malik -- and will look to bolster their squad at the event.

India vs West Indies 3rd ODI: Rohit Sharma & Co. aim for clean sweep against West Indies

With the IPL auctions slated for the weekend in Bangalore, many top players in both teams are likely to be more focused on that than a game which has little context. While much is known about the Indian players, the match offers one final chance for many West Indies players, about whom the franchises would know little, to draw their attention at the last minute. One of those is certainly seam bowling allrounder Odean Smith. The 25-year-old took the wickets of Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli and then, batting too low down the order at No. 9, hammered a 20-ball 24 in the second ODI. Meanwhile, in another boost for India, opener Shikhar Dhawan is set to return to add some much-needed firepower to their top order. Even though his spot has been under the scanner — with many pointing out that Dhawan will be 37 by the time of the 2023 ODI World Cup — the opener seems to have the confidence of skipper Rohit Sharma.
