No doubt, once known as white ball specialist, Aaron Finch, comes first when it comes to Australian players in IPL 2022 who struggled to actualise their potential effort. He scored 86 runs in 5 matches with a highest score of 58 runs. Absence of consistency looks to have taken hold of him. Ex-Aussie all rounder Shane Watson showed his concern about the Finch’s form. Of course, Cricket Australia has backed him for another summer because of his Captaincy but still Shane Watson differed from the view, saying the parameter should role and perform. Having all critics before him, Aaron Finch has came ahead and said, “It’d be really nice to get some big runs and keep everyone off my back for a little while.” Surely, the busy Aussie summer will allow him to do that.
Matthew Wade won the title playing with Gujarat Titans but his performance was by no means promising. He scored 157 runs in 10 matches at an strike rate of 104. He’s the same man who won the T20 World Cup for Australia single handedly. He was playing in the IPL after 11 years so it must have been difficult for him to anticipate the situation.
Marcus Stoinis didn’t have joyful season either despite his team reached the Eliminator. Also, there waa a disbanded position for him. In earlier matches, he was continuously sent below Badoni which was a bad decision. He is a wonderful striker of the ball but he is not a 2-3 over finisher. Even in Big Bash, he has been successful because he takes him time then he goes on for his business. In 10 matches, he scored 156 runs at an impressive strike rate of 147.
If you are talking about Australian players IPL 2022, how can you miss Glenn Maxwell. The x factor had an ordinary tournament, very contrary to his performance in IPL 2021. In 13 matches, he scored 301 runs with a strike rate of 169 including one fifty while in 2021 he scored 6 50 scores.
