This time, it's the auction for the 2022 IPL season and we are joined by Ishan Kacker of The Anxious Millennial Cowboy Show to discuss the purchases by the various franchises for the upcoming season. With the addition of two new teams to the party, it promises to be a bumper season and accordingly our post-auction review is split into two parts.</p><p><br></p><p>In Part 1, we discuss the performances of the two new teams, Lucknow and Gujarat, 2021's underachievers Hyderabad, the most recent table-toppers Delhi, and last season's fourth place team Kolkata. Debating bench strength, team combinations, and possible strategies for these five teams, we attempt to fashion likely playing XIs and tactics from the squads of these franchises. Can Delhi go all the way this time with their new side? How will Hyderabad cope without David Warner? Have Kolkata failed to take their chance to make a fresh start? And are Lucknow and Gujarat strong enough to have memorable debut season?</p>","author_name":"The Second New Ball"}
