Yuvraj Singh – 14 Crores:
Star southpaw Yuvraj Singh grabbed headlines when the RCB franchise got into an auction tussle with other franchises to grab Yuvi for a record sum of 14 Crores in the 2014 IPL. Yuvraj started his IPL journey as the ‘Icon Player; for Kings XI Punjab before moving to Pune Warriors in 2011. The cricketer was then forced to the sidelines due to the cancer treatment and the recovery related to the illness and was unavailable for the 2012 season. Ahead of the 2014 season, the Yuvi saw himself in the auction pool again after his old franchise Pune Warriors was officially terminated. The turn of events saw him hit jackpot as the RCB acquired him for a record sum before ironically releasing him in the next season.
