Saurabh Tiwary ($1.66 million in 2011)
Saurabh Tiwary might not have any IPL teams at the moment but he was one of the most sought-after players in the 2011 IPL auction.
After having a great 2010 season in which he scored 419 runs in 16 innings at an average of 30 and a strike-rate of over 135 for Mumbai Indians, Saurabh was released ahead of the 2011 auction and entered the auction pool. Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Kings XI Punjab were involved in a fierce bidding with Royal Challengers Bangalore before the Bengaluru-based franchise won the bid for him at a whopping price of 1.66 million USD from a base price of 100,000 USD.
Unfortunately, Saurabh couldn't repay the faith his team had in him as he managed to score just 487 runs in 40 matches for the franchise across three seasons, scoring only one fifty before he was eventually released in 2014.
