IPL 2022: Deadwoods

[deepdynamo]

Following up my last year topic IPL 2021: Deadwood in the squads
There were no takers for Suresh Raina, Saurabh Tiwari,  Amit Mishra, Dhawal Kulkarni, Piyush Chawla, Pawan Negi, Kedar Jadhav - they are gone forever!
 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deadwoods  IPL 2022 in my personal opinions.
To be fair 90% of these are fringe players and will hardly get a game. But two new teams definitely helped few of these to prolong their careers.

RCB- Karn sharma, Sid Kaul ( picked based on IPL experience of previous years)

KKR - Sheldon Jackson

 

PK- Rishi Dhawam (maybe but he had stealer 2021 domestic white ball season)

 

CSK- Robin Uthapha ( 36 year old trusted CSK but well past his best)

DC- Mandeep Singh ( IPL journeyman year after year)

RR- Karun Nair

 

MI- Unadkat ( legend never dies )

 

SRH- Shreyas Gopal (regressed)

 

LSG- Manish Pandey ( he will leach around IPL for next 5 years), Nadeem, K Gowtham ( biggest fraud), M Vohra ( IPL Journeyman)

 

GT- Saha ( new team saved him), Aaron ( seriously, picked on past reputation ), Gurkereet maan ( IPL flop for many year)

Uthappa hit some form in 2021. His sr improved to 137. Certainly not his best but he could be useful as he doesn't come with any baggage. Rest are indeed deadwoods.

Mandeep is elite level, how the hell this guy gets a contract every year is beyond wisdom. Absolutely ordinary batsman with no T20 skills, Yusuf Pathan/Raina will be more useful than this guy at their current age.

Maybe Kohli due to motivation levels

Virat Kohli has been the biggest IPL Deadwood between 2017-2022.

 

Poor captain, poor batsman with only stats padding skills and push the better batsman down the order to limit his impact to some overs.

Virat made nearly 400-500 runs in each year in the period you mentioned. Agreed, his captaincy was bad.

None of them are as useless as the deadwoods last year. Maybe except Mandeep. Shreyas Gopal and Karn Sharma can be used against some opponents depending on matchups. Pandey is poor but not useless. Unadkut can be used under favourable conditions(not this season though.)

 

 

One name I want to add in deadwoods is Deepak Hooda.

Uthapha can still do a job for CSK....being in CSK have prolonged his IPL career....doubt other franchise would have given him game time. CSK may start him in XI  and depending on his result, he may get a fair run ( due to non selection of Raina).

Virat Kohli can't be a deadwood ever in IPL atleast.  Even Rahane is not a deadwood in IPL yet.

Aaron, Nadeem, Gurkerret, Karun Nair, Sheldon Jackson, Sid Kaul are definetly A level deadwood.

Others can be used based on conditions but still are very poor versions of their earlier self.

 

Deepak Hooda is not a deadwood at all. He recently got his Indian cap and seems to improved his power hitting in last year IPL as well.

Aaron- Yes

Nadeem- Didn't play much

Gurkeerat- Yes

Karun Nair- No, better than Rahane

Jackson- Didn't get any chances

Sid Kaul- Okayish record

 

Talking about Hooda, he made in into internationals based on his domestic performances. In IPL, he scored only 781 runs in 80 matches which is under 10 runs every match. Till 2021, he averaged only 16.

Hooda was in my IPL 2021 deadwood list but did surprise everyone with his performance in IPL 2021 and then in domestic white ball cricket. A call up to Indian colors justified his improved performance.

No longer a deadwood in my opinion.

Yeah, interesting to see the trust Dhoni has on him now.. For the second half of his career, Uthappa was ignored on a lot of occasions.. Same thing with Irfan Pathan

All you might know, he may do well for India against WI. That is all we need. International matches matter more.

So which Deadwood is doing well?

 

Robin Uthapha doing well....

[Mesky99]

Unfair on shreyas Gopal, had two great seasons with RR, interestingly he has never been the first choice spinner in t20s for Karnataka but somehow did very well for RR some period, biggest dead wood is pat Cummins, when has he ever done well with the ball in ipl?

Shreyas Gopal had two decent season with RR but then regressed badly and is not a first choice player anymore.

Vijay Shankar is the new entrant in Deadwood club....
