10 international stars snubbed at IPL auctions

#6 RP Singh (2014)

Singh has played for RCB and CSK in the IPL

RP Singh may not be a big name in T20 cricket. However, in IPL, where there are no restrictions on the number of Indian players that can be in the playing eleven, it was rare for an Indian player to miss out in the auctions.

Besides, this left-arm seamer was the highest wicket taker in the 2009 edition of the IPL and walked away with the Purple Cap award.

His performances earned him a comeback to the Indian team for the 2009 World Twenty20. His 90 wickets in IPL also places him 11th in the all-time wicket-takers list in IPL. After representing Deccan Chargers till 2010, he joined Kochi Tuskers for the 2011 edition.

He also represented Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the following seasons. His crucial final delivery no-ball for RCB against CSK in the 2013 edition that cost RCB the match seemed to be in the mind of the franchise owners when they bid in 2014.

He had no takers for a base price of 1 crore and it was not until 2016 that he won a contract again when Rising Pune Supergiants picked him up.
