#3 Nathan Lyon - 1.5 crore
It was surprising to see Nathan Lyon go with a base price of 150 lakhs ahead of IPL Auction 2017 and unsurprisingly he went unsold. One year later, the Australian spinner has opted to go with the same base price and it would be a huge surprise if he gets picked this time around.

While it is true that he is Australia's best spinner, majority of his success has been in Tests and he hasn't played an ODI for Australia since August 2016 and has played just one T20I in his career. He has played more than five times as many Tests as he has in the shorter formats for Australia (13 ODIs and 1 T20I compared to 74 Tests).
A decent record in the Big Bash League for the Sydney Sixers and a career T20 economy rate of just over 7 are good but not enough to command a base price of 1.5 crore. And it looks like the 30-year-old might find it difficult to find any suitors for him this time around as well.
