6 times RCB overspent on their players in the IPL auction

Yuvraj Singh (14 crores INR in 2014)

Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh is one of the very few players who has done better in T20Is than the IPL. Yuvraj, the hero of India's win in the 2007 World T20 and the 2011 World Cup, has played for as many as five IPL franchises and could find his sixth franchise in the upcoming IPL auction.

After the termination of Sahara Pune Warriors, Yuvraj Singh entered the auction pool in the 2014 auction and went on to become the costliest player in the history of IPL as Royal Challengers Bangalore saw off threats from Kolkata Knight Riders and ended up buying him for 14 crores INR.

However, he couldn't help RCB go all the way in 2014 and was released ahead of the 2015 IPL in a bid to free up the auction purse. In his season-long association with RCB, he scored 376 at an average of 34.18 and a strike-rate of 135. However, RCB would have regretted their decision to buy him such a huge amount and release him after just one season. In simple words, he earned 1 crore INR per match playing for them in the 2014 IPL.
