IPL Auction 2020: Unsold XI from this year's auction

Middle-order and Wicket-keeper

Shai Hope (wk), Hanuma Vihari, Yusuf Pathan

Shai Hope

Shai Hope might not be a regular part of the star-studded West Indies T20 side but he has impressed one and all in ODI cricket with his temperament and consistency. Hope's record in India in particular would have given him a lot of hope of getting picked by any franchise. But unfortunately, it was not to be as he went unsold.

Hanuma Vihari

Hanuma Vihari is certainly not the attractive stroke-player who wins matches with his big-hitting. However, he has played some sensible knocks for India A in limited-overs cricket. Being a domestic Indian player Vihari would have fancied his chances but he did not get buyers.

Yusuf Pathan

The auction for IPL 2020 seems to have put an end to a glorious career of one IPL's biggest star, Yusuf Pathan. Yusuf has played some sensational innings in the IPL and has been one of the biggest match-winners in the history of the tournament. However, with age Yusuf's performance has diminished rapidly. In the last few years with Sunrisers Hyderabad, Yusuf even struggled to maintain his place in the playing XI. No teams seemed interested in Yusuf's services for the upcoming season.
