10 international stars snubbed at IPL auctions

#2 Herschelle Gibbs (2011)

Gibbs continues to play in T20 leagues around the world

Herschelle Gibbs was picked up by Deccan Chargers in the initial edition of the IPL in 2008. However, some lacklustre performances saw him being put up for sale. But a strong comeback season followed in 2009, where his form saw Deccan Chargers win four consecutive matches at the onset of the season.

His unbeaten 53 in the finals helped Deccan Chargers become the second team to raise the IPL. With such performances behind him and a killer reputation in the international circuit, it was an ignominy that Gibbs went unsold in the 2011 edition. None of the franchises could find a place for him and he was left out.

He, however, signed up by Mumbai Indians in 2012 for a fee of US$50,000. But he failed to make much of an impact and never played in the IPL since then.
