It was the bowlers who were the most-sought-after in the 2013 IPL auctions. However, it was Glenn Maxwell who stole the limelight with a million-dollar signing. Mumbai Indians paid 1 million US Dollars for the hard-hitting Australian allrounder.

However, the big signing was not utilised well enough as MI played Maxwell only in 3 games in that season. He scored only 36 runs in those 3 games. His stay at MI was also for just one season as the franchise let go of him the following year.
