#2 Ravindra Jadeja - ₹12 crore

The Indian all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja entered the IPL Auction for the third consecutive year in 2012. Rajasthan Royals released him in 2010 while his next franchise, Kochi Tuskers Kerala left the IPL before 2012. While he had not received a huge bid on the earlier two occasions, Chennai Super Kings and Deccan Chargers wanted Jadeja in their squad at any cost.
Ultimately, Chennai Super Kings won the bidding war and signed the Saurashtra-born all-rounder for a massive fee of ₹12 crore rupees. He still is a part of the same franchise which indicates his consistency in the league. Jadeja has been economical with the ball whereas he has also chipped in with some match-winning knocks in the batting department.
#3 Yuvraj Singh - ₹14 crore and ₹16 crore

Another Indian all-rounder to be a part of this elite club is the 2011 World Cup hero, Yuvraj Singh. After playing for Kings XI Punjab and Pune Warriors India, Yuvraj entered the auction in 2014. Almost all the teams had submitted a bid for him but Royal Challengers won the race with an unbelievable bid of ₹14 crore. However, Singh could not live up to expectations as he scored 376 runs and took 5 wickets in 14 matches.
RCB released him before the next season only for the Delhi Daredevils to sign him at a record-breaking price of ₹16 crore. The Bangalore-based franchise competed with Delhi till the end but, Delhi grabbed him finally.
Unfortunately, the all-rounder could not play up to the mark in 2015 as he had aggregated 236 runs and taken 1 wicket for Delhi. Yuvraj retired from IPL earlier this year.
