With just 10 days to go for IPL 2022, the excitement among the fans is increasing with every passing second as all the Indian fans are now eagerly waiting for IPL 2022 to start as soon as possible. Here in this article, we will take a look at some of the interesting IPL facts related to the number 10.

10 - Former Rajasthan Royals All-rounder Shivam Dube smashed 10 sixes in IPL 2021.

Shivam Dube has previously played for franchises like RCB and RR but he hasn't had a terrific IPL season so far. In IPL 2022 mega auction, Dube was bought by Chennai franchise for a price of 4 crores. Under Dhoni's leadership, he is expected to perform to the best of his potential even in limited opportunities that he gets.

10 - Quinton de Kock has smashed 10 fifty-plus scores for Mumbai Indians in IPL.

Quinton de Kock's aggressive form with the bat was one of key reasons for Mumbai to lift the trophy in IPL 2019 & 2020. He has been bought by Lucknow Super Giants for a whooping price of 6.75 Crores in IPL 2022 mega auction.

10 - Shreyas Iyer smashed 10 sixes in an IPL match against KKR during 2018 and that remains to be record for smashing most sixes in an innings by a Captain in IPL.

Most Sixes in an IPL innings as Captain:

Shreyas Iyer - 10 vs KKR, 2018
Kieron Pollard - 10 vs PBKS, 2019

Interestingly, Shreyas Iyer will be leading Kolkata side in IPL 2022.

10 - Shardul Thakur has taken 10 wickets against RR in IPL overall.

Thakur has been the go-to man for CSK whenever team needed a breakthrough in last 4 IPL seasons. Unfortunately he hasn't been retained by Chennai franchise and he was sold for a very big price of 10.75 Crs in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. His form and lower order hitting with bat could be a key factor for Delhi franchise in this IPL.
