#2 Manish Pandey
Manish Pandey who used to be a regular in the Kolkata Knight Riders team over the years was released by the franchise ahead of the auction. Put into the auction, Pandey became a hot purchase in the auction this year.
The Karnataka batsman was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for a whopping Rs. 11 crore. Although he had an impressive season in 2017 his previous franchise didn't show any interest in him in the auction.
At a price of Rs. 11 crore, Sunrisers Hyderabad may have expected Pandey to be his usual self and be a match winner for the team. Pandey fared poorly in the season and failed to live up to the expectations of the team and the fans.
Overall in the season, Pandey managed to score just 284 runs in 15 matches at an average of 25.81 and a strike rate of 115.44. It was surprising to see his name in the Indian T20I squad for the tour of England. It will be interesting to see whether he finds form in the foreign land.
