The three match T20 series between India and West Indies has been completed. India’s Venkatesh Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav batted brilliantly in this series. At the same time, bowlers like Chahal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar also returned to the rhythm, but the most expensive players in the IPL 2022 mega auction could not do much. From Kishan to Shreyas and Avesh Khan, all the Indian players were not in rhythm in this series. Here we are telling how the most expensive players of IPL performed in the T20 series against West Indies.
Ishaan Kishan
Ishan Kishan was the highest selling player in the auction this year. He was bought by the Mumbai team for Rs 15.25 crore. However, in the T20I series against West Indies, Kishan struggled to score runs. He is known to bat in an explosive manner, but Kishan did not show this explosive style throughout the series. He scored a total of 71 runs in three T20 matches against West Indies. During this his average was 23.67 and strike rate was only 85.54. No six came off his bat in the entire series. He could only hit nine fours.
Deepak Chahar
Chahar was the second most expensive player to be sold in the mega auction. Chennai bought him at a price of 14 crores. In the third match, Chahar had definitely taken two important wickets in 11 balls, but before that his performance was very mediocre. In this series, Chahar took three wickets in the bowling of 8.5 overs and spent 83 runs. He was neither able to take many wickets nor could he stop runs. His economy was also close to 10. Chahar was also injured in the last match.
Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for 12.25 crores. He became the third most expensive player of this auction. Iyer got a chance to play only one match in the T20 series against West Indies. In this also he could not do anything special. He scored 25 runs in 16 balls, which included four fours. In the absence of Virat and Pant, Iyer will get more chances against Sri Lanka. He can find his rhythm in this series.
Shardul Thakur
Shardul Thakur was bought by Delhi Capitals at a price of 10.75 crores. Thakur also got a chance to play only one match in the T20 series, but he impressed everyone with his performance. In the bowling of four overs, Shardul gave only 24 runs and also took two wickets. He can contribute with the bat as well, but he didn’t get a chance to bat.
