IPL 2022: Wasim Jaffer's Hilarious Meme On Punjab Kings' Selection Headache

Punjab Kings (PBKS) seem to have a problem of plenty with a selection dilemma on their hands in this season's Indian Premier League (IPL). The abundance of in-form overseas players is a good problem to have for skipper Mayank Agarwal, who has so far, marshalled his side with positive intent. The results are there to see, two wins out of the three matches played, bodes well for PBKS but the selection headache of picking four overseas players seems a bit tricky with the kind of options available. Kagiso Rabada is a world-class pacer and puts a strong case for himself to be selected while Sri Lanka's Bhanuka Rajapaksa has been in tremendous form with the bat and provides the much-needed impetus at the top of the order. Englishman Liam Livingstone and Odean Smith have already proved their worth and will be hard to ignore. And with Jonny Bairstow available for selection, Mayank could have a long day at work while sorting out the team combination.

Ahead of the all-important IPL mega auction, SunRisers Hyderabad decided to retain three players -- Kane Williamson, Abdul Samad and Umran Malik -- raising a few eyebrows with their choice of retentions. The team let go of superstars like David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, Rashid Khan and Jason Holder to name a few. They then went on to splash Rs 6.5 crore on Abhishek Sharma, a player who had been with the franchise. While their decision to put faith in youngsters under the leadership of New Zealand's premier batter was applauded by many, it is yet to bear fruit in IPL 2022.
