#1 Jaydev Unadkat- Rs 11.5 crores in 2018

Jaydev Unadkat was possibly the most shocking player to have fetched a sum of Rs 11.5 crores in this year’s IPL auctions, making him the most expensive player from India. He did pick up 24 wickets last season, wherein he snatched up 24 wickets for RPS and emerged as a fine death overs bowler for the side.
He was the subject of an intense battle between Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals, eventually going to the Steve Smith-led side. With a base price of Rs 1.5 crore, it was expected that the bowler, who has impressive figures in T20s, will fetch a decent amount of money but to even beat the likes of KL Rahul and Manish Pandey was highly unprecedented.
