7. Marcus Stoinis

The Australian all-rounder was once again the leading run-scorer in Big Bash League, where he helped the Melbourne Stars reach the finals. Stoinis played the last season for Royal Challengers Bangalore where he didn’t perform too well. Hence he was thrown into the auction pool where he set his base price at 1 crore.

Hence, ahead of the auction, the Challengers let him go and he went to the auction at INR 1 crore. DC and the RR were involved in a bidding war after which the former got him in at INR 4.80 crores. Even in DC.
