Miss: Chris Gayle

It was being assumed that another fat paycheck was awaiting Chris Gayle at the IPL 2018 Auction but, in a surprising turn of events, the biggest star of the league's first decade remained unsold at his base price of INR 2 crore.
The swashbuckling West Indies batsman, who scored 3,420 runs from 91 matches for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, was not picked by his IPL franchise of last 7 years.
Gayle made his IPL debut with Kolkata Knight Riders in 2008 but remained unsold in 2011, before he was roped in by RCB to replace Dirk Nannes.
With 265 maximums to his name, the 38-year-old holds the record of hitting the most number of sixes in IPL history.
Overall, in 101 IPL matches, Gayle has scored 3,626 runs, including five tons, the most by any batsman.
