#4 Pawan Negi (IPL 2016 auction)

One of the most surprising purchases during the auction in 2016 had been made by the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals), when the franchise grabbed Pawan Negi for a whopping ₹8.5 crore. The unbelievably huge amount made him the most expensive uncapped buy, and the second costliest buy overall.
The all-rounder had shot to fame during his stint with the CSK, where he had been a wonderful asset for MS Dhoni. Yet, it was astounding considering Chennai had bought him for ₹10 lakh at the auction in 2014.
He only played 8 matches for DD in the season, scoring 57 runs. He failed with the ball as well, picking up a solitary wicket in the tournament. As a result, he was released by the franchise later that year.
The all-rounder went to the Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2018. The price this time was ₹1 crore.
