IPL 2018: 3 prominent players who went unsold at the auctions but returned as replacements

#1 Alex Hales – Sunrisers Hyderabad

Hales, at his base price of INR 1 crore, went unsold in the auctions

Sunrisers Hyderabad have picked Alex Hales as their replacement for the suspended David Warner. The opening batsman was bought for his base price of 1 crore from the Registered and Available Player Pool (RAPP) list.

BCCI announced that it won’t allow Steve Smith and Warner in the IPL, after the two were banned for 12 months by Cricket Australia for their involvement in ball-tampering at Newlands in Cape Town.

Hales, who was a part of Mumbai Indians (MI) for the 2015 edition, is yet to make his IPL debut. However, he enjoys the distinction of being the only England player to score a T20I century.
