'Playing Passing The Parcel?' Finch Signs Up For 9th IPL Team & It Turns Into A Meme Fest


ADMIN

15 views

Aaron Finch went unsold at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 mega auction and that raised a few eyebrows as he recently led Australia to their maiden T20 World Cup title. Finch didn't score much in the World Cup and no team showed interest in getting his services for the upcoming edition of the IPL. 

However, with Alex Hales pulling out of the tournament, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have signed Finch as the England batter's replacement. The Australian white-ball captain will become the first player in the history of the franchise-based league to represent nine teams.

KKR had bought Alex Hales for Rs 1.5 crore at the mega auction but the England opening batter cited bio-bubble fatigue as the main reason behind his decision to pull out from the upcoming tournament.  

After Jason Roy, Hales is the second England player who has opted out of the tournament due to bio-bubble fatigue.

Finch made his IPL debut for the Rajasthan Royals in 2010 but inconsistent performances saw him going from one IPL team to another year after year. 

Apart from RR, Finch has played for Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings), Mumbai Indians, Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals), RCB. He was also part of the two now-defunct franchises – Gujarat Lions and Pune Warriors India.

As Finch was roped in by the two-time IPL champions KKR it led to a meme fest on Twitter as fans came up with hilarious responses to the Australian's new signing.

Finch has scored over 2,000 runs in 87 IPL games at an average of 25.70 and he has hit 14 half-centuries. However, these numbers don't do justice to his ability with the bat. Finch holds the record for the highest individual score in T20Is. He smashed 172 runs against Zimbabwe off just 76 balls.  

It has been a trend in the IPL that whenever a big player leaves Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and goes onto play for another franchise, he scores heaps of runs and KKR fans would be hoping that this trend continues and the Australia captain gives them explosive starts throughout the IPL.  

The 15th edition of the IPL is set to begin with a blockbuster clash between last year's finalists. Defending champions Chennai Super Kings will take on KKR at the Wankhede stadium on March 26.
