Ruturaj Gaikwad

Ruturaj Gaikwad has been a good find for the Indian team from the ITL. He showed some glimpses of his skills in 2020, but that went up in 2021. Gaikwad won the orange cap last season and was retained by Chennai ahead of the 2022 season. He has become a good player in the domestic circuit as well but is yet to get more chances in the international games.

Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan has been very consistent in the last two years for Delhi, and he was in contention to win the orange cap both times. He was let go ahead of the 2022 season because of the limit of retentions allowed. At the top, he can be very important with his style of play. Teams might go big for him in the auctions as there are limited Indian players with experience who are available for this role.

Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer always provides a good balance to the team in the middle order. He also is a good captaincy prospect for any team. Playing at number three or four, he can be crucial with his playing style. The position that he bats is very important. In 2022, the team that buys him will have big expectations from him.

Suryakumar Yadav

The last season was not the best one for him in the Mumbai camp, but they put their trust in him and retained him ahead of the auctions. He will have a huge role to play for them this season at number three. He has taken Mumbai to some iconic wins in the past few years that he has been with them. Now he will have to show why he is worth the team's money.

KL Rahul

KL Rahul has become one of the greatest batters in World Cricket. He was picked by the new Lucknow team in the draft. He will have to produce a similar performance like what he did for Punjab in the last two seasons. In the words of his team mentor Gautam Gambhir, KL Rahul is a work in progress. This season will define what he is capable of, as he will lead the team in the tournament.
