IPL 2022, the 15th season, is running in full flow as ten strong teams compete to lift the title. All 10 teams have good squads, and most of them are available for selection, including Australian players after April 6th. The beauty of the IPL is the mix of domestic, Indian international, and foreign players, making it exciting to watch for both fans and betting enthusiasts. The 4 overseas international players and current Indian international players in each team can make a big difference between winning and losing. Also, most fast bowling all-rounders in IPL 2022 are foreign players and significantly fewer Indian players. Hence, it’s very tricky for the management to pick the best 11 every match that can help them lift the championship. Therefore, let’s look at 8 international players who can be relied upon to perform consistently and help their team qualify for at least the play-offs. This list may help you choose international players during online betting on cricket.
