Modified Mar 11, 2019 12:05 IST

Have the majority of the most expensive buys of the auction done justice to their price tags?

#6 IPL 2013 - Glenn Maxwell (Mumbai Indians) - ₹6.3 crores (approx)

Maxwell is known as 'The Big Show' for his big-hitting ability

Mumbai Indians bought Glenn Maxwell for an impressive ₹6.3 crores ahead of IPL 2013. The hard-hitting batsman did not have a great stint with the Mumbai-based franchise. He played only 3 matches and scored merely 36 overall.

MI did, however, end up winning the IPL 2013 trophy but much cannot be said about Maxwell's contribution in the victory.

#7 IPL 2014 - Yuvraj Singh (Royal Challengers Bangalore) - ₹14 crores

Yuvraj Singh has amassed 2652 runs and clinched 36 wickets in the 128 IPL matches he has played in all these years.

The Chandigarh-born all-rounder had a decent season in 2014. He hit 376 runs in 14 matches at an average of 34.18 and a strike rate of 135.25. Yuvi also clinched a total of 5 wickets besides hitting 3 fifties.

In all, the 37-year-old has represented 5 franchises thus far. Mumbai Indians roped him in for his base price of ₹1 crore ahead of IPL 2019 and it will be his 6th franchise.
