Andrew Flintoff – Chennai Super Kings, 2009
Andrew Flintoff was one of the most prominent all-rounders in the world when Chennai Super Kings bought him for USD 1055 Million (9.66 crores approx.) in the 2009 auction. The hard-hitting seam bowling all-rounder, however, was ruled out of the tournament midway due to a knee injury. He could play 3 matches, taking two wickets and scoring 62 runs. While it cannot be said that it was his fault entirely, Flintoff was obviously not worth the amount of which he was bought at the IPL auction.
