AARON FINCH
Aaron Finch joined KKR as a replacement player after Alex Hales pulled out of IPL 2022 citing bubble fatigue. KKR was the 9th franchise for which Finch played in the Indian Premier League and he was excited to play in the tournament, as he was not picked in the IPL 2022 auction initially.
He opened the innings for KKR in 5 matches, but only managed to make 86 runs. 58 of those runs came in one innings as he averaged 17.20 and had a strike rate of 140.98. His poor run for form meant that KKR had to fall back on other options for opening combinations, which changed frequently for them throughout the IPL 2022.

In fact, seeing Finch in such poor form in IPL 2022, questions have been raised about whether he should lead the Australian team as they prepare for their T20 World Cup title defense, later in their own backyard.
