Price - INR 20 lakh

IPL 2019 performance - Matches - 14, Wickets - 20, Hat-trick - 1

Shreyas Gopal was the lone bright spot in the Rajasthan Royals bowling department as none of the other Indian bowlers lived up to the expectations this season. Gopal and Jofra Archer were the cornerstones of the franchise, but even their best efforts could not help Rajasthan secure a playoff spot.

Gopal played all matches for the Royals in IPL 2019 and ended the season with a tally of 20 wickets. He even took a hat-trick in the game against Royal Challengers Bangalore, dismissing Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Marcus Stoinis off successive deliveries.

The Karnataka spinner was bought by Rajasthan for the meagre price of INR 20 lakh in the previous auction. Looking at his numbers in IPL 2019, we can easily conclude that he was the top value-for-money pick of the season.
