IPL 2023: 5 most surprising retentions from franchises ahead of auction
These players didn't live up to the expectations for their respective franchises.
2. Shahrukh Khan
Touted as the next big thing, Shahrukh Khan is one of the hottest properties in Indian domestic cricket. Punjab Kings broke the bank to secure his services for a whopping INR 9 crore in the auctions for IPL 2022.
Known for his finishing abilities and hard-hitting, Shahrukh Khan failed to deliver for Punjab Kings as he could only score 117 runs in 8 matches at an underwhelming strike rate of 108.33. Subsequently, he was dropped from the playing XI as Jitesh Sharma made the position his own.
Given his highly-expensive price tag, it seemed imperative that Punjab Kings would release the Tamil Nadu batter and try to sign him at a discount. However, the Mohali-based franchise has shocked everyone by not releasing him at all.
