With just 61 slots to fill and 292 players up for grabs at the 2021 Indian Premier League (IPL) player auction, held in Chennai on Thursday, there were always going to be a lot of star names missing out on a buyer. 57 players were sold out of the 164 Indian, 125 overseas and three associated nation players going under the hammer as the eight franchises filled their slot for the cash-rich tournament expected to start in April. 

As Chris Morris broke Yuvraj Singh’s record to become the most expensive player in IPL history, Jhye Richardson, Kyle Jamieson and Glenn Maxwell also bagged a Rs 10 crore plus sum in the auction. India’s Test mainstay Cheteshwar Pujara was picked by Chennai Super Kings and Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun, found a place in the Mumbai Indians squad.

However, some big stars failed to secure a spot in the eight teams. Likes of Marnus Labuschagne, Aaron Finch and Hanuma Vihari among them.
