#1 Yuvraj Singh to Delhi Daredevils for INR 16 crore
It is quite unfortunate to have a successful bid for one of India's most iconic players classified as an IPL auction blunder. Consider the magnitude of the problem. Yuvraj Singh had been bought by RCB in the previous season for 14 crores and after he had had a disappointing season, had been released by the franchise. However, that did not seem to perturb the Delhi Daredevils management in any way as they placed bids for him with single-minded dedication.
What was even more comical was that RCB, who had released him from his 14 crore contract, in fact, entered the fray once the bidding had crossed 12 crores. However, Delhi Daredevils, who had a bulging purse that year, finally got their man for 16 crores. Yuvraj actually performed worse in 2015 and scored only 248 runs in 14 games at an average of just over 19. His strike rate of 118.09 was a disappointment as well. Delhi Daredevils finished 7th in the table. A blunder for the ages.
