#3 Chris Lynn

Chris Lynn exhibited tremendous form in the T10 league after being released by KKR and it looked like he could end up as one of the most expensive players at the auction. However, it wasn't the case as he was bought by the Mumbai Indians for just ₹2 crore. The Australian could form a destructive opening partnership with Quinton de Kock for his new team and the pitch at the Wankhede Stadium will definitely suit his style of play.

#4 David Miller

While most of the players in this XI were expected to attract big bids, David Miller is one of those who would have entered the auction with fairly low expectations. He hasn't been at his best over the last couple of years, but he is still a dangerous player on his day. The South African player had a decent outing in the Mzansi Super League and was scooped up for ₹75 lakhs by Rajasthan Royals as a backup for their overseas batsmen.

#5 Alex Carey (WK)

Alex Carey is arguably one of the most underrated cricketers at present, and it was reflected at the IPL auction as well. He was bought by the Delhi Capitals for ₹2.4 crore, and considering his versatility, he could turn out to be an absolute bargain. He can bat anywhere in the top six and is also excellent behind the wickets. The Australian is very aggressive with the bat and his ability to play on any type of surface will make him a handy player for DC.
