IPL 2022: 5 cricketers Ahmedabad and Lucknow teams missed out to pick

3. Yuzvendra Chahal

Few spinners are as quick-witted and crafty as Yuzvendra Chahal, who adds a dimension to the team’s bowling department. Surprisingly, Royal Challengers Bangalore released the wrist-spinner. RCB retained the likes of Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and Mohammed Siraj ahead of the mega auction. 

Chahal is one of the players Lucknow and Ahmedabad franchise missed to pick ahead of the auction. He has channelised his experience in the IPL at the best scene. Having played 114 games in the IPL, Chahal has accounted for 139 dismissals. 

He has showcased his wicket-taking abilities in the middle and death overs, which is his noteworthy talent. He has an economy rate of 7.59 which is pretty decent as far as the T20 format is concerned. Moreover, he can be a real steal at the mega auction and franchises would be looking to initiate a bidding war to sign him.
