5 Players who could go unsold in the IPL auctions due to their high base price

4. Shaun Marsh (2 crores)

Shaun Marsh has always been an underrated player for his franchise. His records are really impressive for Kings XI Punjab, but he hasn’t been a mainstay in their playing XI since 2009. He has been in and out of the playing XI despite his match-winning performances.

In fact, he was unsold in the 2018 IPL auctions. His current form with the bat and incredibly high base price means that teams would most likely pass up the opportunity to purchase the Australian batsman. Most teams would prefer a stable top order who can get them off to great starts especially in the power play and Marsh’s current form indicates anything but stability.

It would definitely be an expensive gamble for franchises to purchase him simply based on his previous performances in the cash-rich league. It would be wise for teams to let him pass when he goes under the hammer.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
