6 times Kings XI Punjab overspent on their players in the IPL auction

#2 Eoin Morgan - IPL 2017 Auction

IPL has never been kind to Eoin Morgan

Eoin Morgan has been in the IPL from a long time and has played on multiple teams. Even after continuous failures, he gets plenty of takers and his name always makes noise in the IPL auctions.

So far, Morgan has played for 4 franchises in the IPL and there is not a single note-worthy season to his name. In last year's auction, to everyone's surprise, he went unsold and joined the list of unwanted players.

In the 2017 IPL auction, Morgan was bought by Kings XI Punjab for a whopping INR 2 crores and that did raise a few eyebrows as the southpaw has never been effective in the world's prestigious T20 tournament. He only scored 65 runs in 4 matches and failed to deliver before he got benched for the rest of the season. Morgan's contract was a complete waste of money for Kings XI Punjab and hurt their chances of making it to the playoffs.
