Background

The IPL 2022 season will see ten teams in action unlike previous seasons, when there were eight teams. Two new teams were introduced in this season including Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans.

Ahead of the IPL 2022 Mega auction, the existing eight IPL teams were allowed to retain a maximum of four players and the two new teams were allowed to select three players each from the list of released players.

All sides were allotted a purse of Rs 90 crore ahead of the IPL 2022 Auction. This included the amount of the players retained by them so all ten teams stepped into the IPL mega auction with different bidding amounts, depending upon the players they picked in retention and draft. IPL 2022 season is likely to get underway in the last week of March.
