Deepak Hooda upgraded to capped category at IPL auction
Also, ten uncapped players added to auction list on auction eve, including ambidextrous Australian spinner Nivethan Radhakrishnan
At the pre-auction briefing on Friday, the IPL also told the franchises that the venues for the tournament would be finalised by the third week of February. The 2022 edition is likely to begin from March 27 and run until last week of May.
Nivethan Radhakrishnan, the only known male ambidextrous spinner in representative Australian cricket, turned out for his country in the just-concluded Under-19 World Cup in the West Indies. His three-for and half-century against Afghanistan in the quarter-finals won him the Player-of-the-Match award and secured Australia's passage into the semi-final.
