IPL is a tough tournament to win but some players made it possible for themselves by making a winning switch to the winning teams just after losing IPL final the previous years. 13 players, including MS Dhoni, in tournament history lost the IPL final, changed the team and won IPL next year.

Winning switch in IPL? These players, including Dhoni lost final, changed teams and won IPL title in next season

Former South Africa spinner Imran Tahir recently led Guyana Amazon Warriors to their first title victory in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). Tahir also became the oldest player to win a T20 title, surpassing India's MS Dhoni and Pakistan's Misbah-ul-Haq. Amazon Warriors beat Trinbago Knight Riders for their maiden CPL title on September 25.

Tahir won the CPL 2023 aged 44 years and 181 days while Dhoni won the IPL 2023 aged 41 years 325 days and Misbah-ul-Haq won the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in 2016 aged 41 years and 271 days.

After the tournament, Tahir also thanked Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin for 'predicting that Guyana will win the title this year.' Tahir also made sure that he thanked everyone who joked about them winning the title ahead of the tournament.

"It's been a great experience playing for this beautiful franchise and playing for these beautiful people who always come and support us," Tahir said. "I'm just grateful to the almighty first of all. Coming into the competition, everyone was sending jokes that I had become a captain, so I think actually those things motivated me, so I actually want to thank those people who said that, and I also want to thank my family, all the players' families, they've been on the road with us. It's been a great journey, very special journey.

"Also want to thank our analyst Prasanna [Agoram] - he's been working every day, 20 hours a day, and giving me all the plans. I'm really, really grateful to him, and also want to thank Ashwin from India. He said before the competition that we will do it."

"I think this year we were more hungry than ever before," Tahir said. Notably, Amazon Warriors had failed to win the title despite making it to the final five times prior to this year.&nbsp;

Imran Tahir 'THANKS' Ravi Ashwin after leading Amazon Warriors to maiden CPL title; breaks THIS MS Dhoni feat

Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be aiming to become the first team to book a spot in the final of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 when they lock horns with top-ranked Gujarat Titans (GT) in Qualifier 1 at the Eden Gardens on Tuesday (May 24). RR have enjoyed a brilliant run in the tournament so far and finished the league stage on the second spot with 18 points from 14 matches. While Jos Buttler has been their top performer with the willow, Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has impressed with the ball.&nbsp;

Chahal was roped in by RR at the IPL 2022 mega auction earlier this year after being released by RCB and hit the ground running at his new franchise right from the start of the season. He has been constantly troubling the opposition batters and has been picking up wickets regularly.

The Indian leg spinner is currently the highest wicket-taker so far this season with 26 wickets from 14 matches and is on the verge of creating an all-time record in IPL. Chahal is just one wicket away from creating the record for the most number of wickets by a spinner in a single IPL season.

The record is currently held by former Chennai Super Kings spinner Imran Tahir, who had picked up 26 wickets to bag the Purple Cap in IPL 2019. Chahal has already matched Tahir's tally in the ongoing season and needs just one more wicket to go past him and set a new record in the league.

Most wickets by a spinner in a single IPL season:

26 - Imran Tahir (IPL 2019)

26* - Yuzvendra Chahal (IPL 2022)

24 - Harbhajan Singh (IPL 2013)

24 - Sunil Narine (IPL 2012)

Chahal has been exceptional inhis first season for the Royals after joining the team fro RCB this year. If he manages to stay on the top of the wicket-taking charts this season, he will become only the third spinner to win the Purple Cap in IPl history after Tahir and Pragyan Ojha (2010).

Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans will meet at the Eden Gardens in the first Qualifier on Tuesday in a bid to become the first team to make it to the final. The loser of the game will get a second chance at reaching the final in the second Qualifier against the winner of the Eliminator between Lucknow Super Giants and the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Rashid Khan, at 23, is already one of the greats in white-ball formats. He has excelled in T20s with his wicket-taking abilities for Afghanistan and also while playing for several franchises in various leagues. During match 57 of IPL 2022, Rashid Khan created history by becoming only the third bowler to achieve 450 wickets in T20s.

Courtesy of Rashid's 4 for 24, his franchise Gujarat Titans (GT) beat Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by a whopping 62-run margin in match 57 of IPL 15 on Tuesday evening (May 10) at the MCA Stadium, Pune. In defence of a moderate 144-4, Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat bowlers stood tall as Rashid wreaked havoc with the ball during&nbsp;Lucknow's run-chase whereas Sai Kishore's twin strikes also helped the new franchise to a win and become the first side in IPL 2022 to confirm a playoffs spot.&nbsp;

With his emphatic performance, where he removed the likes of Krunal Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Jason Holder and Avesh Khan, Rashid joined Dwayne Bravo and Imran Tahir in the 450-wicket club in T20s.

Most wickets in T20s:

Dwayne Bravo - 587

Imran Tahir - 451

Rashid Khan - 450

Sunil Narine - 437

What's staggering is that Rashid is only 23 and, hence, is sure to add plenty more wickets to his tally in the coming years. With his memorable performance versus Lucknow, Rashid also achieved two more impressive feats.

After taking Gujarat into the playoffs, vice-captain Rashid said at the post-match presentation, "Those couple of games which did not go well was all about my line and length. That was something I was missing in those games. The pace I bowl and action I have, I cannot afford to lose my line and length, it was about focusing on hitting the right area. The wicket was helping today with bounce and turn, but overall it was about bowling in the right areas. They (the pacers) have given us a platform where we can come and put the pressure. In a chase like 140-145 you need to have a good powerplay and the seamers gave us that. This is a very crucial part of the competition, it is all about the process whether we win or lose, we should keep the same process. We have to get better day by day and have to keep doing good things. Now the focus should be on playing good cricket and enjoying ourselves. I think Holder's wicket was crucial at that time and I had planned it, to bowl the leggie from middle stump."

The countdown for the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction 2022 has already begun with as many as 590 players set to go under the hammer at the two-day event in Bengaluru on February 12 and 13. A number of top players from India and overseas will be part of the auction pool with ten teams competing against each other to rope in the best players.

There are a total of 370 Indian and 220 overseas players who will be going under the hammer at the IPL 2022 mega auction. 228 out of the 590 players are capped international stars and many of them have opted for the highest base price of Rs 2 crore (INR 20 million) at the mega auction.

There are some IPL veterans as well as some fresh new talent who have opted to place their name in their Rs 2 crore-category at the mega auction. While most of them are likely to be in demand among the ten teams, some might fail to draw a bid. Here is a look at some of the players from the top base price bracket who might go unsold at the IPL 2022 mega auction.

1) Suresh Raina&nbsp;

Suresh Raina has been one of the best players in the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the years. He was the all-time leading run-getter of the league for several years before being surpassed by Virat Kohli in 2019. Raina has been instrumental in Chennai Super Kings (CSK)'s success in the IPL and is currently the 4th highest run-getter of the league.

However, he has not been on top of his game for quite a while now and has had to deal with fitness issues as well. He was released by CSK ahead of the mega auction this year and might find it difficult to find a buyer at the IPL 2022 mega auction.

2) Imran Tahir&nbsp;

Imran Tahir enjoyed a stunning season with CSK in the year 2019 where he picked up 26 wickets to finish as the highest wicket-taker of the season. However, he managed to make only four appearances for CSK in the next two seasons, scalping only three wickets across both seasons.

At 41, Tahir is one of the oldest players available at the IPL 2022 mega auction and has opted for the base price of Rs 2 crore. While there is no doubt Tahir still has the energy levels of a youngster, any team might find it tough to invest him as the South Africa spinner is past his best at the top level.

3)&nbsp;Ashton Agar

Australian left-arm spinner Ashton Agar, who has never featured in the Indian Premier League before, has set his base price at Rs 2 crore ahead for the IPL 2022 mega auction. While he has failed to cement his spot in the Australian side across formats, Agar has done well in the Big Bash League.

However, the spin all-rounder had gone unsold in the IPL mega auction 2018 where he had a base price of just Rs 50 lakh (INR 5 million). This time around, he had oped to increase his base price a whopping four times the last one but is unlikely to get a buyer at the IPL 2022 mega auction due to the plethora of top spinners available in the pool.

4)&nbsp;Robin Uthappa&nbsp;

Another IPL veteran Robin Uthappa&nbsp;has opted for the highest base price of Rs 2 crore but might find it difficult to secure a deal at the IPL 2022 mega auction. Uthappa was part of CSK's IPL 2021 title-winning squad last season but managed to play only a handful of matches for the MS Dhoni-led side.&nbsp;

He played four matches in IPL 2021, amassing 115 runs. The 36-year-old has been one of the most prolific Indian batters in the league over the years but doesn't have age on his side and is unlikely to be roped in by any franchise. Uthappa has&nbsp;4722 runs to his name in 193 IPL matches.

5) Adil Rashid&nbsp;

England spinner Adil Rashid had gone unsold at the IPL 2021 player auction where his base price was Rs 1.5 crore (INR 15 million). He was later roped in as a replacement for Jhye Richardson at Punjab Kings. However, he managed to play just one game for the side and ended up conceding 35 runs in 3 overs while going wicket-less.

Rashid has been impressive for England in limited-overs cricket for a while now but he is unlikely to land an IPL deal this year as well.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Former South African pacer Dale Steyn criticised Cricket South Africa (CSA) for not congratulating ex-skipper Faf du Plessis on winning the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 title with Chennai Super Kings (CSK).&nbsp;

After Chennai's 27-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the final match at Dubai cricket stadium on Friday (October 16), CSA had wished pacer Lungi Ngidi but didn't mention Du Plessis and Imran Tahir's names in a now-deleted post.&nbsp;

Responding to the same, the former Proteas pacer advised the cricket board to do the "right thing" and "add all the men involved" in the post. Not just Steyn, the post did not go down well with du Plessis, who reacted on Instagram, "Really???".&nbsp;

"CSA now blocked the comments section. Here's some advice. Do the right thing. Delete the post and add all the men involved, save yourself the embarrassment and ridicule," Steyn tweeted.&nbsp;

Imran Tahir to retire from ODIs after South Africa-Australia clash

&nbsp;Amid English fans jeering Australia's Steve Smith and David Warner during the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/india-are-playing-their-best-cricket-says-sri-lankas-angelo-mathews-233248">World Cup</a>, South Africa spinner Imran Tahir lent his support to the duo saying that they have served their punishment and he respects them.

"We haven't spoken about it. They have served their punishment. They are world-beaters and they have my respect. Everyone makes mistakes ... I have made mistakes in my life too," Tahir said.

In March last year, when Australia toured to South Africa for a four-match Test series, Smith and Warner were found guilty of tampering the ball and consequently, were handed a year-long ban.

After the incident, this is the first time when <a href="https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-uds-cse&amp;cx=006054055338965708568:09spwrlibei&amp;q=https://www.wionews.com/sports/steve-smith-david-warner-need-to-have-thick-skin-to-shine-at-world-cup-says-brett-lee-222826&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=2ahUKEwji5tPJ653jAhWu6XMBHXUTAwsQFjAAegQIBRAC&amp;usg=AOvVaw3Zx2BC2Ni8i6FRp-KxKes0">Smith and Warner</a> will compete against the Proteas.

Australia have already reached in the semi-finals while South Africa have already been knocked out from the semi-finals race and will be playing their last match in this edition of the quadrennial tournament.

Although the match will not be able to change South Africa's fortune in the premier tournament, the Proteas can try to end their campaign with a win.

When asked if there would be sledging during the match, Tahir said,&nbsp;"Not from us, but if it comes from them then we won`t hold back."South Africa will face Australia on July 6.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/england-beat-south-africa-by-104-runs-in-cricket-world-cup-opener-222946">South Africa were handed a 104-run defeat</a> at the hands of Eoin Morgan-led England in the curtain raiser of the 50-over tournament at the Oval.

Chasing a challenging total of 312, the Proteas were bundled out on 207 inside 40 overs.

"This is where it's important for us to make sure that you look at the World Cup for what it is. You know, you`re going to play games. You're going to come up against quality opposition. England was better than us in all three facets of the game. They show why they are such a good cricket team, and now we have to look at the league. It's a league competition," ESPNcricinfo quoted du Plessis as saying.

"As disappointed as we are with our performances today, you have to make sure you learn from it quickly and put every single dart to bed because there is the next game and you have to make sure you play good cricket again," he added.

Having known that England have a long batting line-up, South Africa restricted the host for 311/8.

The Proteas conceded just 76 runs in the last 10 overs, which made it seem the du Plessis-led side had won half battle.

One of their go-to bowlers, Lungi Ngidi picked up three wickets, including ending the innings of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/watch-ben-stokes-takes-mind-boggling-catch-to-dismiss-andile-phehlukwayo-222966">Ben Stokes</a> for 89.

Veteran leg-spinner Imran Tahir and Kagiso Rabada returned with two wickets each.

"Yeah, I thought after the first half, that we did a good job with the ball. You know, as I said before this game, England more so than any other team in this World Cup, bat longer than anyone else. So if you can stop them with the long batting line-up you have, then you`re doing a great job with the ball," the South Africa captain said.

"For them to score as little runs as they did the last 15 overs and us picking up as many wickets as we did, was a great achievement by our bowling units. But yeah, as I said, 310 is still a big score, so what you need to do is you need to start well, and we didn`t have that luxury," he noted.

The chase looked achievable until Hashim Amla retired hurt after getting hit by a Jofra Archer bouncer.

The setback disrupted the South Africa batting and a wobble took place too before Quinton de Kock held his nerves to rebuild the side.

In the 23rd over, Liam Plunkett dismissed de Kock which broke the backbone of South Africa.

Amla returned to bat but it was too late as his side was at 180/7 and eventually South Africa folded.

"When you are chasing a big score like 310 what you need is a good start. You need to make sure that you settle the bats in the dressing room with a good partnership, whether it's zero down or one down, but a good start is really important and obviously with him (Amla) coming off, and then a few overs later, Aiden (Markram) got out and then one or two overs later, I got out. When you go three-down on a big score like that, you're making it really tough for our batting unit to perform. And then the score just looks big. It looks too far," du Plessis said.

The BCCI has contributed a sum of Rs 20 crore. 2- Fresh face from Kashmir The 17-year-old Rasikh Salam, who was picked at his base price of Rs 20 lakh by Mumbai, made his debut for Mumbai team against Delhi on March 24.

He scored a total of 692 runs that included 21 sixers. One of the sixes really caught spectators' eye when he launched it over the ropes only for it to crash into a cameraman but luckily he was unhurt.

Buttler's dismissal during a league match between Rajasthan and Punjab triggered a spirit of game debate and left the cricket world divided. 6- First Super Over of edition Delhi defeated Kolkata in season's first Super Over as Kagiso Rabada defended 10 runs to steer Delhi to a thrilling victory on March 31. 7- Sam Curran's bhangra moves When Punjab defeated Delhi by 14 runs on April 1 in league matches, England's pacer Sam Curran celebrated his match-winning performance by doing some bhangra skills with team owner Preity Zinta.

She was caught on camera holding a placard with her wish written on it - "I am here only for Dhoni". After the match got over on, Dhoni made his way down the stairs from the team's dressing room and met the woman and the young girl who accompanied her.

In one of their league matches, Bangalore came out wearing green jerseys, instead of their regular red one, to spread a message on environmental conservation. 11- Andre Russell or a superhero? With his match-winning and entertaining knocks, Russell has become a cricket sensation among Indian fans and Twitter users have compared him with several Bollywood's reel icons. Russell was even compared to Thanos, who is the villain in Marvel's Avengers series. 12- IPL's tight schedule leads to this... Dhoni and his wife Sakhi Dhoni were found sleeping on the floor of an airport. The Indian wicket-keeper batsman shared the picture with a witty caption on his official Instagram account and the image immediately went viral on social platforms. Dhoni wrote, "After getting used to IPL timing this is what happens if u have a morning flight."

The confusion emerged when the umpire, for a moment, indicated a no-ball but the leg-umpire said he never signalled for it. Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner started questioning the on-field umpires and amid that, Dhoni walked onto the ground to talk to the umpires. Umpires, however, denied it and eventually signalled it as a legitimate delivery. 15- Ducks and Golden Ducks Australia all-rounder Ashton Turner became the first batsman to register five straight ducks in Twenty20 cricket. 16- Dhoni's record 111-metre long sixer Chennai skipper MS Dhoni created a record while playing against Bangalore team on April 21.

He broke Hardik Pandya's record of 104-metre long six. 17- A record they did not want Virat Kohli-led Bangalore team created an unwanted record of most consecutive defeats in Indian Premier League. The team have suffered seven consecutive defeats from May 19, 2018, to April 7, 2019. 18- Were they glued?
