There are 19 players from overseas who have selected this position for themselves at the maximum reserve fee of Rs. 2 Crore.
IPL Auction State Representatives:
We’ll examine the players’ state-by-state allocation in the impending auction today. The state of Jammu and Kashmir had the most participants in the auction. Jammu and Kashmir will be the domestic team with the most players in the auction. Cricket has been more popular recently in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, which may come as a surprise.
The first player from J&K to appear in the IPL was Parvez Rasool. Since then, a number of great players have stolen the spotlight, most recently Umran Malik. The shortlist for this year’s auction includes a total of 21 players from J&K.
Umran Malik and Abdul Samad both are J&K representatives who were retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad ahead of the auction.
Umran Malik, a pacer for Jammu & Kashmir, had a fantastic run in the recently finished IPL. The fast bowler was able to get his first call-up for the Indian squad as a result of his ball-twirling antics in the IPL 2022. As many as 14 J&K pacers have signed up for the forthcoming mini-auction, drawing motivation from Umran.
J&K players in the IPL auction list:
Shubham Khajuria, Vivrant Sharma, Mujtaba Yousuf, Abid Mushtaq, Yudhvir Charak, Basit Bashir, Rasikh Dar, Waseem Khanday, Avinash Singh.
