Royal Challengers Bangalore's 5 most expensive auction buys

#3 Dinesh Karthik – 2015 – $1.75 Million

Dinesh Karthik might have finally found a home at the Gujarat Lions

2014 was an absolutely shocking year for the RCB as the team finished in 7^th place with just 5 wins in the entire season. They went about rebuilding the team by addressing the wicket-keeper’s spot first, handing Tamil Nadu’s Dinesh Karthik a handsome pay day.

There would be a turnaround in fortunes, but not due to DK’s individual performances as he had a poor year with the bat scoring just 141 runs in total. The RCB was DK’s 5^th team in 8 IPL seasons and he would only last the one season, before the Gujarat Lions snapped him up in 2016.

After having had his second best season in IPL history with the Lions, DK was retained and will be hoping to push the team towards the title after an impressive debut season.
