#2 Tymal Mills (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Of all the names in this list, English pacer Tymal Mills got the harshest and the most shocking blow in this year's auction. Royal Challengers Bangalore had to spend Rs 12 crores for Mills, who they thought was the ideal replacement for Mitchell Starc.
His debut IPL season was far from what was expected, as Mills picked up just 5 wickets in as many matches he played, and leaked runs at an economy rate of over 8.5.
It was widely assumed that Mills wouldn't fetch as lucrative a contract as he did last year, but no bids for him surprised everyone, even the auctioneer Richard Madley.
