6 times Rajasthan Royals overspent during the IPL auctions

#4 S Sreesanth - $900,000 (2013)

Shanthakumaran Sreesanth

Shanthakumaran Sreesanth famously known as S. Sreesanth can be described as cricket's lost talent. A talented fast bowler who was known for his match-winning spells, was a go-to man for any team at the time of Auctions.

As expected the bowler triggered a condensed bidding war, before being brought by Rajasthan Royals for $900,000, which later proved to be their biggest blunder till date.

Despite being a wonderful player, the 2013 IPL turned out to be his worst and last season of his career. The pacer featured in just seven fixtures for the Royals and picked just five scalps at an average of 32.30.

A spot-fixing scandal emerged against the man from Kerala, leading to the curtains on the two-time world champion's (World T20 2007 and Cricket World Cup 2011) IPL career.
