A look at the Indian stars who have been underperforming so far.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 kick-started with the usual bang and the most teams have played at least three games each, with having both low-scoring thrillers as well as mega run-chases.
With the venues restricted to only Maharashtra, teams known the venues are in a lot of favour of the batter, however, the bowlers have not shown to shy away from the condition.
While many expected names are performing to their full potential, many budding stars are also rising to the occasion. With two new teams also being introduced - Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Gujarat Titans (GT) - players are getting more game time.
