While Royal Challengers Bangalore buying Yuvraj Singh for 14 crores INR in the 2014 IPL grabbing the headlines, not many will know that Dinesh Karthik also fetched a huge amount as he was signed by Delhi Daredevils for 12.5 crores INR after an intense bidding war. But, Karthik's second stint with the franchise came to an end just after one season with them before he was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the following season.

Even though Karthik had a decent season as he scored 325 runs with the bat at an average of over 23 in the 2014 IPL, he was released by Delhi Daredevils after just one season which indicates that Delhi erred in the 2014 auction by signing Karthik for a huge amount.
