<p>The Indian Premier League (IPL) season fifteen will have ten teams competing against each other and the tournament will consist of 74 matches. Each franchise will play seven home matches and seven away matches in the league stages.&nbsp;</p>



<p>It is reported that the fixture model used back in IPL 2011 will be again brought back to action. The 2011 IPL also had 10 teams playing and the teams were divided into two groups of five apiece. As many as 74 matches were scheduled to complete the cash-rich tournament. Teams had to complete 14 matches before the knockout stage. Each side was scheduled to play twice in their own group with the remaining four teams and then the team went out of the group to play one match against the four teams of the second group while two matches were played against the fifth team of the second group. In this way, each franchise completed its 14 matches in the league stage.?</p>

<p>For the knockout stage, teams were assembled again and ranked according to their points and net run rate. The top four teams were allowed to progress to the next stage which is the knockout stage. Four matches were held in the same fashion, just like IPL 2021, Qualifier 1, Eliminator, Qualifier 1 and Final.</p>

List of Player Retained by MI, CSK, DC, RCB, RR, PBKS, SRH, KKR - IPL 2022

player-retained-by-mi-csk-dc-rcb-rr-pbks-srh-kkr-ipl-2022

<p>The IPL Auction and the buzz around it have had all of us on the edge of our seats. Recently Mitchell Starc showed interest in putting his name in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction after 6 long years. Fast Bowlers have always been an integral part of the shortest format. Over the years, the IPL has seen very good fast bowlers including Lasith Malinga, Dale Steyn, Brett Lee, and many others. But who are the top 10 fast bowlers in this year's IPL Auction? Who are the top 10 Fast Bowlers who will take the big bucks home? Here is a look:?</p>



<h2>10) Prasidh Krishna/ Umesh Yadav:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The list of top 10 fast bowlers in the auction begins with Prasidh Krishna from Karnataka or Umesh Yadav. The similar skillset of swinging the ball in the first few overs and bowling cutters as a variation. Both the bowlers have express pace and constantly hit the 140+ kmph mark. Both of them are Indian which gives them an upper hand over the other overseas options. Prasidh is younger and this may make him the more preferred option.?</p>



<h2>9) Josh Hazlewood/ Mark Wood:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Mark Wood is currently the fastest English bowler. In the absence of Jofra Archer, he has made a big name for himself in the white-ball circuit.<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=mark+wood" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Mark Wood</a> is a hit-the-deck bowler and is has express pace. He easily bowls over 145 kmph. His short ball is deadly. On the other hand, teams can also go for <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/josh-hazlewood-to-remain-unavailable-for-the-final-ashes-test-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Josh Hazlewood</a>. Hazlewood has amazing control in the powerplay overs. A pitch like Mohali or Ahmedabad can do wonders to his game. Josh was an integral part of the team that won the ICC T20 World Cup 2021.?</p>



<h2>8) Marco Jansen is one of the top 10 fast bowlers:?</h2>



<p>2 or 3 months back, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/mi-full-players-list-in-ipl-2022-retained-released-updated-squad-after-mega-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Marco Jansen </a>wouldn?t have made it to this list. But his performance against India in the test and white-ball series has proven us wrong. Marco has a knack for taking wickets. Jansen was scouted last year, by the Mumbai Indian?s management. This tall left-hander brings the ball in towards the right-handed batters. Jansen doesn?t have the express pace but his height gives him the added advantage. He has a good skill set with various options. This makes Jansen a complete package.?</p>



<h2>7) Deepak Chahar:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fd3-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-82960" /><figcaption>Deepak has been groomed under MSD and hence makes him a deep learner of the game. </figcaption></figure>



<p>After being released by the Chennai Super Kings, Deepak Chahar is bound to earn big money in the IPL Auction. One of the top 10 fast bowlers in the country, Chahar is exceptional. Deepak Chahar comes from Rajasthan. He has previously played for the Rising Pune Supergiants and the Chennai Super Kings. Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been his mentor over the years. Chahar can give you 3 controlled overs in the powerplay. He displays the exquisite skill of swinging the ball. ?</p>



<h2>6) Shardul Thakur:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Shardul Thakur is on the list as a fast bowler but he can be named an all-rounder as well. Shardul has a knack for picking wickets. He is the man with the golden arm. His recent exploits with the bat give him an upper hand. He can easily bat at number 7 for any team. Shardul relies on variations like the slower ball, the knuckleball, and the cutters. Thakur is a complete T20 package. His fielding too is very good. ?</p>



<h2>5) Trent Boult is one of the top 10 fast bowlers:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fd4-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-82961" /><figcaption>Trent Boult was an integral part of the Mumbai Indians. </figcaption></figure>



<p>The left-hander from New Zealand was bound to be on the list of top 10 fast bowlers. Trent has improved his game fourfold in the past year. Boult was an important part of the New Zealand team that had a successful ICC T20 World Cup 2021. Trent was initially just a bowler for the powerplay overs but he has worked on death bowling too. His yorkers have become precise and quicker. Boult will certainly set the stage on fire in the auction.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>4) Mitchell Starc:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Starc showed keen interest in signing up for an IPL team in a recent interview. He said, ?It is certainly on the cards?. If Starc comes to the IPL, he easily becomes one of the top 10 fast bowlers in the auction. Mitchell helped Australia win the ICC T20 World Cup for the first time in 2021. Starc doesn?t need to prove his game as he has done it all. Being the ?Man of the Series? in two consecutive World Cups defines the genius of this legend.?</p>



<h2>3) Mohammad Shami:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fd1-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-82963" /><figcaption>Shami was expected to be retained by the Punjab Kings, but they chose other wise.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Starc could have been ahead on the list had he been Indian. But Mohammad Shami is one of the top 10 fast bowlers in the auction. Being Indian, Shami will be preferred by many franchises. Shami was initially just a red-ball bowler but then he improved his game to suit the white-ball format. After fighting personal demons in the year 2018 and 2019, Shami proved that he is a master of his art. A true warrior. He has a good set of variations and is a swift yorker. ?</p>



<h2>2) Pat Cummins is one of the top 10 fast bowlers:?</h2>



<p>Pat Cummins will take a big bag of money home if he signs up for the auction. The only problem could be the Australia tour of Pakistan if it goes ahead. Due to that Cummins can miss the initial stage of the IPL. But investing in him could be a smart choice as it will be applicable for 3 long years. Cummins is certainly at the top of the list of top 10 fast bowlers. He has a good yorker and a well-directed bouncer. ?</p>



<p>Honorable Mention:</p>



<ol><li>Jofra Archer (Subject to fitness)</li><li>Ishant Sharma/ Avesh Khan</li><li>Harshal Patel</li><li>Navdeep Saini</li><li>Chris Jordan/ Lahiru Kumara</li></ol>



<h2>1) Kagiso Rabada:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fd2.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-82962" /><figcaption>Rabada and Anrich Nortje formed a deadly duo for Delhi Capitals.</figcaption></figure>



<p>KG Rabada will have all the 10 teams bidding for him when he comes to the IPL auction. Rabada is a top pick. He is super quick and very consistent. His ability to bowl yorkers makes him a deadly weapon in the death overs. We simply can?t forget the image where Rabada made Andre Russell fall on the ground in 2019 with his yorkers. This just defines the greatness of this magician. He also gives a few good overs in the powerplay. A wicket like Dharmshala or Ahmedabad will be ideal for KG!?</p>

Top 10 Fast Bowlers in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.

<p>IPL 2022 is on track! The Board of Control for Cricket in India is expected to conduct the IPL 2022 from 27<sup>th</sup> March onwards. The tournament will then end in the last week of May. The BCCI is also keen on conducting the IPL 2022 in India itself, with Mumbai and Pune being the likely venues. This means that the IPL will start a week earlier. Other several updates were given in the meeting of the owners conducted by the BCCI on Saturday, 22<sup>nd</sup> October. Here is an in-depth look:?</p>



<h2>BCCI Likely to Conduct IPL in Mumbai and Pune:?</h2>



<p>The BCCI had a meeting with the owners of the teams. The meeting was attended by almost every owner including Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, the Ambanis, Parth Jindal, and the owners of the two new franchises, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ahmedabad-owned-by-cvc-capitals-approach-agency-for-suitable-franchise-name-in-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ahmedabad</a> and Lucknow. There were two major discussions held in this meeting. One was around, the change of dates of the IPL, and the other was around the venues of the IPL. The change in the dates is such that the IPL will shift a week earlier. The IPL will begin on the 27<sup>th</sup> of March. It was agreed upon by all the owners. ?</p>



<p>The second discussion was around the venue of the IPL. The available options were to conduct it in the UAE <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/virat-kohli-defends-team-india-for-drs-controversy-outburst-in-the-3rd-test-match-against-south-africa/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">South Africa</a> or Mumbai and Pune. The option of South Africa has been put on hold as the broadcasting timings do not exactly match with India. The UAE option was sidelined because dew plays spoilsport. The matches in the UAE last year favored the teams that batted second. The ball was getting super wet for the teams balling second and was also skidding off the wicket. ?</p>



<p>The option of Mumbai and Pune was agreed upon by all the owners. The two cities comprise a total of 4 stadiums. The Wankhede Stadium, the Brabourne Stadium (CCI), the DY Patil Stadium (New Mumbai), and the Subroto Roy Stadium at Gahunje, Pune. The fact that these cities have the hotels and accommodation required to hold the IPL bandwagon, were considered.?</p>

<p>Several Twitter users predicted the name to be ?Lucknow Rangers? or ?Lucknow Panthers? but the name revealed was different. The Lucknow team has already picked 3 players from the draft before the auction. The three players chosen are <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/bcci-central-contracts-2022-rishabh-pant-kl-rahul-likely-to-get-grade-a-contract/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">KL Rahul for 17 Crore</a> Indian Rupees,<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/kagiso-rabada-marcus-stoinis-in-lucknows-backup-player-list-in-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow"> Marcus Stoinis for 9.2 Crore</a> Indian Rupees, and Ravi Bishnoi for 4 Crore Indian Rupees.

<p>TATA IPL 2022 will be a one-of-a-kind event. The IPL 2022 Mega Auction will certainly be a talking point. 1200+ players have registered themselves for the auction. 600+ players are uncapped and only a few 100+ are capped. So, who will be the players who will earn the biggest purse? Which are the players who will earn a bag full of money? Overseas openers and Indian captaincy options will make this list as 3 possible teams are looking for a captaincy candidate; <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/kolkata-knight-riders-kkr-new-captain-in-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kolkata Knight Riders,</a> Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Here is a look at the list of players:?</p>



<h2 id="yuzvendra-chahal-will-cross-10-crore-in-tata-ipl-2022">Yuzvendra Chahal will cross 10 Crore in TATA IPL 2022:?</h2>



<p>Yuzvendra Chahal will be highly in demand in this year?s IPL Auction. Chahal happens to be one of India?s most successful bowlers in the shortest format of the game. Chahal being a leg spinner gives a more attacking option. His Indian nationality makes his case stronger as a team has to play 7 Indians. It can be safely said that Yuzvendra is one of India?s best leg spinners ever.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="shardul-thakur">Shardul Thakur:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fm1-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-83185" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: CricketAddictor</figcaption></figure>



<p>Shardul Thakur has set the stage on fire ever since the iconic Gabba game. In every crunch situation, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/shardul-thakur-has-replaced-axar-patel-in-indias-t20-world-cup-squad/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Shardul</a> comes in and smashes the ball hard. Thakur has proven that his batting has improved by leaps and bounds. Shardul is now India?s reliable number 7 batsman. One can never forget that Shardul has the knack for picking wickets. He is the boy with the golden arm. He has an economy of 8.2 which is brilliant for bowling in the middle overs.?</p>



<h2 id="ishan-kishan-will-cross-10-crore-in-tata-ipl-2022">Ishan Kishan will cross 10 Crore in TATA IPL 2022:?</h2>



<p>Ishan Kishan will make a lot of money in TATA IPL 2022 Mega Auction. He is young, left-handed, can open, and can keep. Ishan Kishan is also a captaincy option as he is in the Jharkhand leadership group. Ishan Kishan is coming from two good seasons of the IPL and will be riding high on confidence. He has a strike rate of 140. He will make a good combination with Virat Kohli or Mayank Agarwal.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="david-warner">David Warner:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fm2-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-83186" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Cricket Addictor</figcaption></figure>



<p>David Warner, the Australian swashbuckling opener will have a lot of buyers. Potential buyers of Warner in the TATA IPL 2022 Mega Auction include KKR, RCB, and Mumbai Indians. Warner, for any team, can be an integral part of the leadership group. He has captained SRH earlier and was the deputy for the Australian National Cricket Team. With an average of 42 and a strike rate of 140 Warner gives top-notch services. Warner and his pull shot are a treat to watch. ?</p>



<h2 id="shreyas-iyer">Shreyas Iyer:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Shreyas Iyer is a top choice for any team. Iyer can fit the bill in multiple cases. He can open the innings if required and can be a floater too. He had a successful IPL 2020 with the Delhi Capitals as captain. Shreyas has a lot to offer with the bat and as a leader as well. He has been groomed under the likes of Ganguly, Ponting, and Kaif. Iyer averages 32 and has a complementary strike rate of 130. Iyer is Indian and that gives him an added advantage. ?</p>

<p><span>The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>

<p><span>India fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is all set to achieve the most massive feat in the history of T20I cricket in the upcoming T20I series against England. The series between the teams will begin on 22nd January at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh is just 5 wickets away from becoming the first Indian bowler to pick 100 wickets in the T20Is. With India set to play a five-match T20I series against England, it is expected that the pacer will be achieving the feat in the upcoming series.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>This comes as a remarkable feat because Arshdeep Singh made his debut during 2022, and to reach to 100 wickets within the span of around 2 years is staggering. The left-arm pacer has been nothing short of exceptional in the T20 format and is one of the most consistent performers with the ball for the team.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh has been sensational with the new ball as well as in death. In the last few years, he has proved to be the biggest match-winner for India in T20Is. The pacer has won many games for the team on his own and will be keen to carry on the same form in the upcoming series.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<h2><span><span class="Apple-converted-space">Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024</span></span></h2>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024.  He was the joint-highest wicket-taker in the series with 17 wickets to his name as he oozed his class with both new ball and old ball, helping India to end their title drought.</span></p>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh will be extremely important for India in the upcoming T20I series against England. The pacer will be key for the team alongside Mohammed Shami, who will be making his comeback to the team after a long injury break. The duo will be leading the attack for the team.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>With the kind of performances that he has displayed, Arshdeep Singh is likely to play all five games in the series. It won't be a surprise if he gets to 100 wickets in the first two games of the series against England.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>The India and Pakistan rivalry has been a great contest on the cricket field, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, marked by intense competition between the neighbouring nations and passionate fan engagement.

<p dir="ltr"><span>The rivalry only intensifies, every time the two nations play against eachother, be it the Cricket World Cup or the ICC Champions Trophy. Such has been India’s domination in the ICC events, that they claimed successive wins in both the One-Day as well as the T20 World Cup. However, the Champions Trophy results have been contrasting with Pakistan’s infamous victory in the CT 2017 final against India, as well as their memorable 10-wickets win against India in the T20 World Cup of 2021.    </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Clearly, the India vs Pakistan games are celebration of cricket to its peak, where every ball, every run, and every wicket carries the weightage of national pride.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Kuldeep Yadav: The wizard for India in the sub-continent (Image Credit: X)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Kuldeep Yadav, the left-arm Chinaman bowler, has had an immense impact on India’s performances under sub-continent conditions. He is known for his standout services in the ODI format and hence features as the only main spin bowling option in the 11.</span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr"><span>9: Shaheen Shah Afridi</span></h3>

<p><strong>Delhi Capitals IPL 2025: </strong>The Delhi Capitals (DC) find themselves in a fascinating position ahead of the IPL 2025 season. The team is primed for success with a revamped squad and a renewed focus. However, one crucial question looms large: who should lead the team? The experienced KL Rahul, or the dependable all-rounder Axar Patel? Let’s break down the dynamics and possibilities that each captaincy option offers.</p>
<h2><strong>KL Rahul: The Veteran Leader</strong></h2>
<p>KL Rahul comes to Delhi with a rich IPL pedigree. Over the years, he has proven himself as a prolific run-scorer, amassing over 4,600 runs at a phenomenal average of 45-plus. His experience as captain of the Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants has shown his ability to guide a team to playoff stages, which he achieved twice with LSG. Rahul’s batting consistency and calm demeanor make him an attractive choice to lead DC.</p>
<p>However, Rahul’s captaincy style has been criticized for being conservative, particularly regarding his strike rate and decision-making in crunch moments. This could be a concern for a team like the Delhi Capitals, which boasts explosive batting talent and needs a captain capable of effectively utilizing this firepower.</p>
<h2><strong>Axar Patel: The Fresh Perspective</strong></h2>
<p>On the other hand, Axar Patel represents a new-age leader with a wealth of experience in high-pressure situations. Axar has been DC's vice-captain and even stepped in as captain for a game in IPL 2024. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him a key player, and his recent appointment as India’s T20 vice-captain adds to his leadership credentials.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063ce6ad86.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Axar’s performances last season were nothing short of stellar, with 235 runs at a healthy strike rate and 11 wickets at an economy of 7.66. His all-around prowess, coupled with his understanding of the DC squad, makes him a strong contender for the captaincy.</p>
<p>Choosing between Rahul and Axar is essentially a choice between two distinct leadership styles. Rahul brings stability and experience, having captained for multiple IPL seasons. His presence can calm nerves during tense moments, which is invaluable for a team aiming for the playoffs. Axar, however, offers a dynamic and aggressive approach, potentially aligning better with DC’s young and energetic squad.</p>
<h2><strong>Delhi Capitals, the Squad</strong></h2>
<p>Delhi’s 2025 squad is packed with talent across the board. In the batting department, players like Harry Brook, Tristan Stubbs, and Jake Fraser-McGurk add explosive options, while KL Rahul himself remains a cornerstone at number three. The pace unit, led by Mitchell Starc and supported by T Natarajan and Mukesh Kumar, is formidable. However, the reliance on Axar and Kuldeep Yadav in the spin department highlights a potential area of concern.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063cab56d5.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Delhi Capitals Squad: Harry Brook, Jake Fraser-McGurk, KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, T Natarajan, Ashutosh Sharma, Mohit Sharma, Sameer Rizvi, Karun Nair, Faf du Plessis, Mukesh Kumar, Darshan Nalkande, Dushmantha Chameera, Vipraj Nigam, Ajay Mandal, Manwanth Kumar, Trupurana Vijay, Madhav Tiwari. DC retentions: Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel.</p>
<h2><strong>The Strategic Impact of Captaincy</strong></h2>
<p>Under Rahul, DC might adopt a more methodical approach, relying on his ability to anchor innings and guide young players like Abishek Porel and Fraser-McGurk. Axar’s leadership could inject a more fearless and intuitive style, encouraging aggressive cricket and leveraging DC’s bench strength, including veterans like Faf du Plessis.</p>
<p>One key consideration is how the captaincy might affect their individual performances. While Rahul’s form as an opener has been a consistent asset, Axar’s ability to contribute with both bat and ball is crucial to DC’s balance. Assigning the captaincy to Axar could be a gamble, but it might pay off if it inspires the team to rally around a fresh vision.</p>
<p>Ultimately, the choice of captain will reflect DC’s strategic priorities. If the franchise prioritizes experience and a steady hand, KL Rahul is the natural choice. However, if they aim for a bold and innovative approach, Axar Patel might be the leader to take them to new heights.</p>
<p><strong>Either way, the Delhi Capitals possess the ingredients for a successful campaign, and the captaincy debate only adds to the intrigue surrounding their 2025 IPL journey. They are one of the strong contenders for the trophy this year.</strong></p>
<p></p>

KL Rahul or Axar Patel, who could be the Next Leader of Capitals?

Delhi Capitals faces a tough captaincy choice for IPL 2025: experienced KL Rahul or dynamic Axar Patel. Both offer distinct leadership styles, which will shape DC's approach with their star-studded squad and bold ambitions.

Delhi Capitals must choose between KL Rahul’s steady leadership or Axar Patel’s dynamic approach to maximize their IPL 2025 potential.
