#5 Saurabh Tiwary (IPL 2011 auction)
The young Jharkhand batsman, Saurabh Tiwary, entered the 2011 auction having been the 'U-23 player of the season' in the previous edition, scoring 419 runs for the Mumbai Indians in 16 matches. So, he was considered a strong prospect to get a good price when his name came up at the 2011 auction.

Yet, what happened in the next few minutes was unbelievable, but surreal for everyone. Royal Challengers Bangalore went all out for him buying him at a massive ₹8.5 crore. The huge pay made him the 7th most expensive player of that edition of the tournament. However, the left-handed batsman has failed to live up to the expectations over the years.
Things have kept going downhill for him since due to some inconsistent performances. Tiwary was bought by the Mumbai Indians for ₹80 Lakh in the auction in 2018.
Fate wasn’t on the former Indian batsman’s side, as he went unsold during the auction in 2019.
