Aaron Finch is known for his monster hitting and on his day, he can smash even the best of the bowlers for runs all around the park. A 9-year IPL veteran, Finch's best days came with the Gujarat Lions. In the two seasons, he was brilliant for the franchise and scored 693 runs in 26 matches.

In last year's auction, he was bought by Kings XI Punjab for a staggering INR 6.2 crores. This made him the first player in the history of IPL to take the field for seven different franchises.

He had a forgettable season and scored just 134 runs in 10 matches. The Aussies cricketer did not register a single half-century and his highest score was 46. His constant failures hurt the team dearly and they failed to make it to the playoffs, after winning five of their first six matches. He was subsequently released by the franchise during the off-season.
