Punjab Kings (PBKS) – Chris Gayle

Chris Gayle is part of Punjab Kings. 41-year-old Chris Gayle is among the oldest players in IPL. He will not play for many seasons in IPL in the future. Moreover, PBKS has also bought many overseas players in IPL 2021 auctions like Dawid Malan, Jhye Richardson, Riley Meredith, and Moises Henriques. Therefore, the franchise might not retain Gayle in IPL 2022 and chose other overseas players in the retention list.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) – Chris Morris

Rajasthan Royals bought Chris Morris for a massive amount of ₹16.25 crores during IPL 2021 auction. RR already has players like Jofra Archer, Jos Buttler, and Ben Stokes and since a team can retain only 2 overseas players in IPL 2022 auction, the Royals might go with these options. Therefore, Chris is one big player from RR, who will not be retained in IPL 2022.
