IPL 2022 Auction: KKR to CSK; Franchises Who Could Contemplate Bidding For 2-Time World Cup-Winner Sreesanth

IPL 2022 Auction: Sreesanth brings experience, the experience of Indian pitches. He is a two-time World Cup winner, surely that stands out in his CV. 

Kerala: If Harbhajan Singh can get a buyer at 39, why not Sreesanth at 38? Well yes, the counter-argument is – Sreesanth is a pacer while Harbhajan is a spinner. The Kerala-born pacer made headlines when he put his name for auction in the upcoming mega-auction for a base price of Rs 50 lakh. So, will he find a bidder? Well, that is difficult, but you just never know…

What does Sreesanth bring to the table? 

He could be the perfect surprise package if any franchise wants to unleash him and surprise the opposition as he has not been playing regular cricket.

He brings experience, the experience of Indian pitches. He is a two-time World Cup winner, surely that stands out in his CV. He may not do a lot of bowling, but even in the dugout – he would be an asset to have for the abundance of knowledge he brings. The aggressive pacer can groom and guide young talent and that is priceless.

Who are the franchises who could place a bid for the senior Indian pace bowler?

Kolkata Knight Riders: They have put their money on Harbhajan in the past, why not Sreesanth? KKR could place a bid for Sreesanth. He would like bowling in Mumbai.

Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings would not mind an India pacer and if that comes at a low price, they would not mind. In Mumbai, he could do a Deepak Chahar under lights. You should not be surprised if CSK put their money on Sreesanth.

Rajasthan Royals: Why not Royals get back their old employee? They may look for Sreesanth on their side just to motivate the younger pacers. Another franchise you should not be surprised if they bid for him.
