6 times Sunrisers Hyderabad/Deccan Chargers overspent on their players in the IPL auctions

#6 Amit Mishra (INR 4.75 crore) - 2014 auction

Amit Mishra

Mishra started his IPL journey with the Delhi daredevils back in 2008 before joining the Deccan Chargers in 2011. After his exceptional bowling performances for Deccan Chargers (19 wickets in 2011 and 13 wickets in 2012) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (21 wickets in 2013), he was bought back by the Sunrisers for INR 4.75 crore using the Right-to-match card (RTM) during the 2014 auctions after an intense battle between the Delhi Daredevils and Sunrisers Hyderabad during the bidding.

It was a rare failure with the ball for Mishra in the 2014 IPL, as he managed just seven wickets in 10 matches after being retained for such a huge amount. The Haryana leg-spinner failed to recreate the magic he produced in the past IPL seasons for the Hyderabad franchise. Eventually, he was released by them before the 2015 auctions thereby ending the four-year association with the city of Hyderabad. Mishra was bought by the Delhi Daredevils at the 2015 auctions.
