Most oldest and youngest player in IPL 2022 auction
The highly-anticipated mega-auction of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 is all set to get down to the business this Saturday and Sunday (February 12 and 13) in Bengaluru. As many as 590 players from various countries will go under the hammer, including 370 Indians and 220 overseas players.
Notably, the fifteenth season of the cash-rich league is much more exciting for fans after the addition of two new teams that has made IPL a 10-team affair. The new sides are Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans, who will be captained by KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya, respectively.
Like any other season, this year too will feature players from all age brackets as quite a few young and old players are part of the players’ auction list. On that note, let’s have a look at the oldest and youngest player who will feature in the IPL 2022 mega-auction:
