Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have signed Australian T20I skipper Aaron Finch as a replacement for Alex Hales for IPL 2022. KKR acquired Hales' services at his base price of 1.5 crores at the mega-auction last month.However, the English batter pulled out of the upcoming tournament citing bio-bubble fatigue. It prompted the KKR think tank to rope Aaron Finch to replace Hales. It will be the ninth franchise Finch has played for as has already represented eight teams in the IPL.He has been a part of every IPL season since debuting in 2010 except the 2019 and 2021 editions. The 35-year-old has a modest record with the bat in the league. Across 87 matches, he has mustered 2005 runs at an average of 25.38, including 14 fifties.Indian cricket fans were surprised by Aaron Finch's inclusion in the KKR side for IPL 2022, considering his previous track record in the league. They went on to troll him on Twitter as they feel the KKR management should have gone for Eoin Morgan as a replacement for Hales.Here are some of the best reactions:Harsh Raikar@bitter_parker_Aaron Finch somehow sneak into the IPL every year.9:30 AM · Mar 11, 2022Aaron Finch somehow sneak into the IPL every year.Shrutika Gaekwad@Shrutika_45_Aaron Finch the real IPL legend You cannot fail season after season and end up having an IPL contract every season.9:30 AM · Mar 11, 202227Aaron Finch the real IPL legend 😂You cannot fail season after season and end up having an IPL contract every season.Vinesh Prabhu@vlp1994Aaron Finch joining KKR in what I think is his 9th IPL franchise.... #IPL20229:22 AM · Mar 11, 202272Aaron Finch joining KKR in what I think is his 9th IPL franchise.... #IPL2022 https://t.co/5IJasxPgQcMsdian Forever@f22071795Aaron Finch joins Kolkata Knight Riders as a replacement for Alex Hales. #TATAIPL9:27 AM · Mar 11, 2022Aaron Finch joins Kolkata Knight Riders as a replacement for Alex Hales. #TATAIPL https://t.co/GPfhHtfdnZMd Arif@MdArif_0786Why KKR has gone with Aaron Finch.
