The good old chap Hugh Edmeads made his return to the IPL 2022 mega auction. He suffered an unfortunate fall on day 1 of the mega auction.
Earlier on day 1, Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore got into a bidding war of sorts for Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga but suddenly Edmeades collapsed to the floor.
Charu Sharma rushed in to replace Edmeads on day 1 and he did a splendid job after filling in for Edmeads. With no preparation, Charu Sharma chipped in with his expertise, and nobody could find a single flaw in his auctioneering.

On day 2, as the auction headed towards its conclusion, Edmeads made a surprising comeback into the auction and he even conducted the auction for a while!
Fans on Twitter hence couldn't contain their excitement as they rejoiced and celebrated the return of Hugh Edmeads.
Here's how Twitterati reacted to Hugh Edmeads' return:

Everyone gave him a rousing welcome!
These are the most humane moments from an otherwise cutthroat competition.#IPLMegaAuction2022 — Shahab Jafri (@ShahabJafri55) February 13, 2022
