#4 Jason Holder

Jason Holder

Base Price: Rs. 1.5 crore

The tall West Indies all-rounder has base priced himself at Rs. 1.5 crore. Jason Holder was sold to Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL auction 2016 at his then base price of Rs. 50 lakh. He played 4 matches for the franchise and could manage to score just 22 runs and take 2 wickets.

Owing to his poor performance he was later released by the Kolkata team ahead of the IPL auction 2017. The West Indian missed out on an IPL contract last year after he went unsold. His base price of Rs 1.5 crore was one of the biggest reasons for this.

Going by the auction stats and his current form playing for West Indies, it looks like he will go unsold this year too.
