IPL 2022 is shaping up as it is in its moving phase where teams try to avoid making mistakes however it is tough to do so if you have the worst buys

Top 10 Worst Player Buys In IPL 2022 Season
10. Abdul Samad (SRH)
The 20-year-old explosive batsman was retained by SRH in 4cr as he showed great potential in the last couple of seasons. His six-hitting ability impressed everyone but his consistency is questionable. Samad has played just 2 games for SRH this season in which he scored just 4 runs. He was dropped by the team after a couple of failures.

9. Matthew Wade (GT)
The Australian wicket-keeper batsman and the star of the T20 WC 2021 semi-final haven’t been quite impressive in the IPL 2022. He has been tested as an opener by GT but he failed to deliver for them. Wade has played 5 games of Gujrat in which 68 runs with an average of 13.6. GT bought him for 2.4 crores in the auction and till now it has been a disappointing deal.
8. Shahrukh Khan (PBKS)
The most expensive uncapped batsman Shahrukh khan has struggled to find a way to score runs. His price tag can be a factor that has put pressure on the young shoulders. He has played 7 games in which he scored 98 runs at an average of 16.33 with a strike rate of 100. PBKS bought him 9cr for the finishing role in their team but the latter has failed to deliver.
7. Jonny Bairstow (PBKS)
The Englishman has been the late entrant in the ongoing IPL because of their international duty. Bairstow has played the last 4 games of PBKS in which he scored 41 runs with a strike rate of 106.13. Jonny Bairstow replaced Bhanuka Rajapaksa in the team who was smashing the ball really well. The PBKS management bought Bairstow for 6.75cr in the auction.
6. Varun Chakravarty (KKR)
The mystery spinner of KKR hasn’t been the same after the horrific World cup 2021 campaign. KKR retained him for 8cr in the auction as he was their leading wicket-taker last season. The constant failure of Chakravarty is letting down KKR. In 7 innings Chakravarty has leaked runs with an economy of 8.84 and has got just 4 wickets.
5. Romario Shephard (SRH)
The Caribbean all-rounder got the unexpected bid of 7.75 cr in the IPL auction. Shephard’s IPL performance is not justifying his actual capability as he has struggled. He has played 2 games in which he has conceded 75 runs with wickets. With the bat also he managed to score just 32 runs.
4. Chris Jordan (CSK)
Chris Jordan who is known for his death bowling has been struggling with the form at the moment. He has played 4 games in which he took 2 wickets with an expensive economy of 10.52. CSK bought Chris Jordan at 3.60 cr.
3. Tymal Mills (MI)
Another English pace bowler who has struggled his way throughout the tournament. Mills has leaked a lot of runs regardless of the fact he picked up 6 wickets. He has played 5 games in which he concedes 190 runs with an economy of 11.18 runs per over.
2. Odean Smith (PBKS)
The west Indian all-rounder did win a game for PBKS with his finishing skills but after that, he has been vulnerable. Odean Smith has played 6 games in which he picked 6 wickets with an economy of 11.87. Odean Smith came with a very reputation in the tournament but till now he didn’t live up to the standards.
1. Manish Pandey (LSG)
The first Indian centurion of IPL is looking stuck in IPL 2022. He was picked by Lucknow in 4.6cr. Manish Pandey has played 5 games at the no.3 position in which 66 runs with an average of 13.2. His poor run of form in IPL has made him sit on the bench. And so he is on No.1 in the Top 10 Worst signings of IPL 2022.
