How a player will perform in IPL, it is known only after the start of the tournament. But what are the expectations from a player, it is known from the IPL auction to be held before the tournament. Many big names go unnoticed, while many unknown faces take away huge sums of money. Simply because the expectations are high. However, sometimes there are occasions when even after the high price received in the auction, a player is not able to play much matches. Indian all-rounder Krishnappa Gautam (Krishnappa Gowtham) There is one such player, on whom the money was spent in the auction, but did not get the opportunity. IPL 2022 again (IPL 2022) Their price decreased over the years, but Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) I also got a chance from my side and amazing was also seen.
After spending an entire season on the bench, Krishnappa Gautam finally got a chance to show his ability by taking the field in the 15th match of IPL 2022. Gautam, who was part of Lucknow Super Giants this season, was included in the playing XI against Delhi Capitals and showed in his very first match that he can prove to be a very useful cricketer if given the opportunity.
Gautam made his return to Delhi
In the match against Delhi on Thursday, 7 April, Lucknow named Gautam in the playing XI. He was included in place of senior batsman Manish Pandey, who had failed so far. Gautam also got the responsibility immediately and in the powerplay he was sent to bowl in front of dangerous batsmen like Prithvi Shaw and David Warner, where Shaw hit two fours. After this he was removed and brought again in the eighth over.
By this time Shaw had taken an explosive form and had hit a half-century. Shaw hit six and four off the first and second balls of Gautam. Gautam returned the pavilion to Shaw, paying the account on the third ball itself.
From here Lucknow and Gautam returned together in the match. Gautam, who spent 19 runs in the first 8 balls of his spell, then made such a trick that only 4 runs were spent in the next 16 balls. Out of this, one over was completely lost to the maiden. In this way, Gautam gave only 23 runs in his 4 overs and took the most important wicket. Delhi too could score only 81 runs in the next 12 overs after losing the first wicket for 68 runs in the eighth over.
Record made first, then 9 times less price
This return of Gautam is special because in the auction held before the last season, Chennai Super Kings bought him by spending a huge amount of Rs 9.25 crore. Till that time he had not even made his debut for India and he became the most expensive uncapped player. Despite this, CSK did not field him in a single match throughout the season. However, CSK definitely won the title. In such a situation, in this year’s mega auction, his price came down 10 times and Lucknow also gave him a chance by buying him for just 90 lakhs and Gautam proved his worth and ability.
