#8 IPL 2015 - Yuvraj Singh (Delhi Daredevils) - ₹16 crores

Yuvraj's impressive performances in the 2014 edition meant that he will earn a handsome sum in IPL 2015 as well. This time, the lanky all-rounder received ₹16 crores from Delhi Daredevils. He is the only Indian player in IPL history to be the most expensive buy twice in a row.

Contrary to the high expectations, Yuvi had a forgettable campaign as he scored just 248 runs in 14 matches at an average of 19.07 and an economy rate of 118.09.

The all-rounder could not make an impact with the ball as well and clinched just 1 wicket in the entire season. Delhi Daredevils finished at a dismal 7th position in IPL 2015.
