The IPL 2021 auction in Chennai was one of the most eventful auctions in history with players bagging huge prices. While it made fulfilled the dreams of many cricketers, the auction room also shattered quite a few dreams as franchises showed no interest in some players who remained unsold.

There were 61 slots to be filled at the most, and remarkably, 57 were filled. Every team has exhausted their overseas quota too, so there are 8 overseas players on each side. On the other hand, only Rajasthan Royals (24) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (22) have not hit the 25-player limit.

A couple of players attracted massive prices from the franchises. To put that in perspective the total spend by franchises was 145.3 crore. So almost 50% of the total spend was on 5 players who were expensive buys, the rest was on 52 players.

As usual Glenn Maxwell triggered an intense bidding war. Eventually, Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore secured his services for a mammoth amount of ₹14.25. Surprisingly, Proteas all-rounder Chris Morris was the highest earner of the IPL 2021 auction and in the history ever. Rajasthan Royals secured his services for a staggering ₹16.25 crores.

While some players broke the ban, many failed to even attract sole bidders. The most prominent being Alex Hales, Jason Roy, Mitchell McLenaghan, Glenn Phillips, Alex Carey, Evin Lewis, to name a few. On that note, we take a look at players, who remained unsold in IPL 2021 auction.
