Glenn Maxwell (9 crores in 2018)

In the 2018 IPL auction, Delhi Daredevils yet again broke the bank to buy a player and the player went on to be below-par for them in the IPL before getting released after just one season.
This time, it was the Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who was bought by Delhi for 9 crores INR after some intense bidding that saw the likes of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore trying to but the right-hander.
But, Maxwell didn't repay the faith Ricky Ponting and co. had in him as he scored just 169 runs in 12 matches at an average of just 14 and a strike-rate of 141. He was dropped after 12 matches and was eventually released by the franchise after just one season.
