According to records Chris Gayle is the king of all batsmen in IPL in terms of centuries as he has hit 6 centuries in IPL. He also holds the record for highest individual score in the tournament.
V Kohli is regarded as the one of the best batsman in the world and is also known as the king of cricket. Run machine Kohli averages tremendously in each format of the game. In 86 Test matches, he has scored 7240 runs with an average of 53.62 and has scored 27 hundred and 22 fifties
Jimmy Anderson is the modern-day legend in terms of bowling. He holds the record with most test wickets as a fast bowler in cricket history. He took 614 wickets in a total of 160 matches played. In ODI he had played 194 matches and took 269 wickets with an economy rate of 4.92.
With the introduction of the new teams, a ten-team format was created. This format consists of 74 matches and was introduced as retaining the previous format would result in 94 matches, significantly greater than the 60 matches from the previous season, where teams compete in a double round-robin tournament.
The ten teams are divided into two groups of five. In the group stage, each team plays 14 games: facing the other four teams in their group two times each (one home and one away game), four teams in the other group once, and the remaining team two times. The groups for the tournament were announced on 25 February 2022.[33]
Each team plays the team in the same row and the same column twice, and all others once. For instance, Mumbai Indians will play Chennai Super Kings and the other Group A teams twice but the other teams from Group B (Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans) only once. Similarly, Chennai will play Mumbai and the other Group B teams twice but all other teams from Group A only once. The format used is similar to the one used in 2011, with the only difference being that the teams were drawn according to seedings instead of being drawn randomly.[34] The figures in parenthesis denote the number of titles won by the team.
Each existing team was allowed to retain a maximum of four players, whereas the two new teams were allowed to pick a maximum of three players before the auction.[25] The retained players of the existing eight teams were announced on 30 November 2021,[26][27] and the two new teams named their players on 22 January 2022.[28][29]
The auction took place on 12 and 13 February 2022 in Bangalore.[30] Ishan Kishan was the most expensive buy of the auction, bought by Mumbai Indians for ₹15.25 crore (US$2.0 million).[31] The most expensive foreign player was Liam Livingstone, bought by Punjab Kings for ₹11.50 crore (US$1.5 million).[3
