IPL Auction 2022: Brad Hogg says “I’d have him in front of Ishan Kishan”

IPL Auction 2022: The Mumbai Indians (MI) will suffer a major financial loss as a result of the IPL 2022 super auction. According to former Australian spinner Brad Hogg. Since they will be forced to release some of their top players.

MI has the most stable squad in the IPL. Which helps to explain why they are the most successful franchise in the T20 league’s history. However, because teams are only permitted to keep four players, MI will have to part ways with a few of its top performers.

Hogg mentioned Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Trent Boult as his selections. Admitting that choosing four players to keep will be difficult.

“Mumbai Indians, they are going to lose some big players and they are going to be put on the back foot at the end of this auction. For me, you keep Rohit Sharma as your captain and Suryakumar Yadav – a batter who can play 360 degrees and turn the game on its head. I’d have him in front of Ishan Kishan and I’d keep Bumrah. For my overseas player, I’d keep Trent Boult. He picks up wickets in the powerplay, is improving in the death. I think that’s a huge investment.” he elaborated

MI missed the playoffs this year after winning back-to-back IPL titles in 2019 and 2020. With seven wins and as many defeats, they ended fifth in the points table.

While both MI and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) finished with 14 points in the IPL 2021 points table, Kolkata advanced to the playoffs due to a higher run rate. They were struggling at the midway point, but in the UAE leg, they turned things around.

“Venkatesh Iyer has just come on stage and has really excelled in a short period of time. Do you make a huge investment in him going forward? I would. I will also keep (Shubman) Gill and (Varun) Chakravarthy. If I am looking at keeping overseas players, I’d like to keep both Andre Russell and Sunil Narine. I’ll keep Narine with the mystery spin and, hopefully, I can pick up Russell at the auction. He’s injury prone and not as reliable to start on the park as Narine.” Hogg stated

Therefore, KKR’s incredible turnaround led them to the IPL 2021 final, where they were defeated by CSK by 27 runs.
