6 times Mumbai Indians overspent on their players at the IPL auction

#3 Aaron Finch - Rs 3.2 crore, 2015 auction

Finch was ruled out of the tournament after playing 3 matches

Aaron Finch is one of the leading T20 batsmen in the world and has a number of T20 records, including the highest score in T20 internationals, to his name. The Victorian has the ability to bludgeon the ball and annihilate any bowling attack on his day.

Owing to these qualities, Finch was bought by Mumbai Indians at the 2015 auction at a whopping price of 3.2 crore. Finch was expected to play a huge role in the Mumbai Indians' campaign but things did not go Finch's way. The current Australian ODI and T20 captain played just 3 matches before getting injured and being ruled out of the tournament. Even before getting injured, the Australian didn't look in great touch. In the three matches that he played in the season, Finch scored just 23 runs.

And even though the injury was unfortunate, one might question Mumbai Indians' decision of spending so much on Finch, who did not have a particularly good IPL record.
