6 times RCB overspent on their players in the IPL auction

Dinesh Karthik (10.5 crores INR in 2015)

After clearing up 14 crores INR in the 2015 IPL auction by releasing Yuvraj Singh, Royal Challengers Bangalore had a lot of money at their disposal in the auction and yet again, they wasted most of their money on a single player, this time, it was wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik, who was bought for 10.5 crores INR.

Unfortunately, Karthik couldn't manage to be with the franchise for more than one season as he was released by them after a mediocre 2015 season that saw him score just 141 runs in 16 games at an average of just over 12 and a strike-rate of 120.
