Manoj Tiwary is probably the most unfortunate cricketer in India. Despite delivering hefty performances in domestic cricket, he was never entrusted with sufficient chances at the International level.

He sounded dejected and took to Twitter to express his disappointment after being not picked in the auction. Manoj Tiwary had stared in IPL 2017 and had delivered numerous match-winning performances to propel Rising Pune Supergiant's to the finals.

He is a seasoned middle-order batsman and is a player with an adept technique. Tiwari can also contribute to the team's cause with his leg spin has the capability to provide vital breakthroughs. His all-around performance in Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy this year were critical in Bengal reaching super league stage.

Except 2016, Tiwari has featured in every season of the IPL so far. He has represented Delhi Daredevils, Kolkata Knight Riders, Pune, and Kings XI Punjab in the last 10 years. With a base price of ₹50 Lacs, he could have been a great choice as a middle-order batsman for any franchise in need.

Despite his stature in Bangladesh cricket and utility as a player, it is difficult to understand why Mushfiqur Rahim has not found an IPL contract yet.

Mushfiqur is undoubtedly one of the best players that Bangladesh has produced since attaining Test status. Rahim's physicality may not be very imposing, but he carries the ability to overpower his opponents with his game.

His numbers in the shortest format of the game establish his credibility. In 155 innings of T20 Cricket in his career, he has scored 3366 runs at an impressive strike rate of 127.

He also keeps wickets and is a proven game-changer in the middle-order. With a low base price and high utility, Rahim would have been a real steal buy in the auction.
