IPL 2022: Delhi Capitals Full Squad Going Into The Upcoming Season Led By Rishabh Pant

Cricket fans were occupied in the last couple of days as the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 mega auction was underway. The two-day bidding event took place in Bengaluru and several players went massive under the hammer. At the same time, some prominent names didn’t fetch a single bid and went unsold.
