#3 Pawan Negi to Delhi Daredevils for 8.5 Crores

The successful teams like Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians over the years have shown that the key to winning an IPL is to have quality all-rounders. Delhi Daredevils tried to follow this trick and brought the young sensation Pawan Negi for a whopping 8.5 Crores.
Pawan Negi had a great year with CSK in IPL season 8 under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and that season was one of the prime reasons for DD to buy him for 8.5 Crores. But the pressure of big money hindered the performance of Pawan. In the eight matches that he played in the season, he managed to take only one wicket and bowled at an economy of 9.33. His stint with the bat was not also good either as he scored just 57 runs with a strike rate below 100.
The domestic success allowed him to get a second chance after this terrible season. He is now part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore unit.
