Premier English spinner Adil Rashid is one player who went unsold on Day 1. In this article, we take a look as a Twitter user gives a hilarious reply to Michael Vaughan who commented on Adil Rashid going unsold at IPL 2022 Mega-Auctions.
Adil Rashid goes unsold in IPL 2022 Mega-Auctions
Adil Rashid happens to be one of the best T20 spinners at the moment. He is a regular in the England setup. Last season, he was part of Punjab Kings. He got a few games but could not leave an impact. Adil was then dropped from the XI.
At IPL 2022 Mega-Auctions, the leggie did not find any bidder. Hence, he was unsold. Considering he is a unidimensional cricketer, it was not a surprise that he went unsold. The trend was such that players like Wanindu Hasaranga got a good contract. Even the likes of Suresh Raina went unsold on Day 1. That said, all these players could still get a chance to earn a contract. They could come back to the auctions again on Day 2.

Meanwhile, Michael Vaughan said that he does not understand the reason behind Adil Rashid not receiving interest at the auctions. To this, a Twitter user gave out a hilarious reply. Here is what he said:
Because we can only play 4 overseas player in IPL unlike England where they can play all XI overseas

It is well known that England has a lot of players who actually were not born in the country. The likes of Ben Stokes, Jason Roy in the current team and legends such as Kevin Pietersen in the past actually do not hail from the nation. However, they still have done well for the country. Keeping this in context, the Twitter user gave a sarcastic response to the query by the former English skipper.
