Rajat Patidar to Rinku Singh, 5 biggest surprises from IPL 2022 (In Pics)

Rajat Patidar has bloomed late in IPL. What a story he has been. He had his wedding planned in May but joined RCB squad as replacement player for injured Luvnith Sisodia. And rest is history. His IPL ton in the Eliminator helped RCB seal the spot in Qualifier 2. He is being hailed by everyone for his brilliant hitting while keeping composure. Definitely, the biggest surprise from IPL 2022. (Image source: Twitter)

Probably, the find of the season. Mohsin bowled fast and bowled with precision as well. More importantly, he bowled with more maturity for his age. He played in 9 matches for LSG and picked up 14 wickets with an unbelievable economy rate of 5.96. (Image source: Twitter)  

Tilak Varma finished as Mumbai Indians highest scorer in IPL 2022. And we are talking about a team that includes stars like Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav among many. Tilak scored 397 runs in 14 games for MI and was one of the biggest positives from what turned out to be a disastrous season for five-time champions. (Image source: Twitter)

KKR's Rinku Singh played just 7 games, scoring 174 runs at a strike rate of 148.71. He may not be among huge runs but he created a massive impact deep down the order with the bat. Who can forget his 15-ball 40 that almost clinched a win for Kolkata vs LSG in a must-win game. His quality was surely not expected by masses who follow the league but everyone's happy for him.

Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Abhishek Sharma had been failing to live up to the hype but he finally delivered for the franchise with 426 runs in 14 matches. He scored 2 fifties. And played with a strike rate of over 130. He was one of the biggest reasons why SRH won five matches in a row. (Image source: Twitter)
