#1 Yuvraj Singh – 2014 – $2.33 Million
When RCB acquired the services of Yuvraj Singh in 2014, the team started to resemble an all-star team with the batting order comprising of Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, AB De Villiers and the pugnacious left-hander from Punjab.
Fans were left salivating at the thought of watching these batsmen come out to bat one after the other. It was the perfect marriage but it would end in disappointment. Despite a good season on a personal level, where he scored 376 runs and took 5 wickets, the team would have their worst season since the first edition of the league.
In the very next year, Delhi Daredevils would smash the auction record by snapping Yuvraj up for $2.67 million from the RCB. In 2016, Yuvraj barely starred in a title-winning season for the Sunrisers but has been retained for another year.
