5. Carlos Brathwaite: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
KKR got former West Indies T20I captain for a huge price of INR 5 crores as a like-for-like replacement for Andre Russell at last year's auction. But he only mand to score 11 runs in 2 games and didn’t pick up any wickets. Yet, given value that he adds to squad, KKR will want him but at a lesser price this time.

4. Varun Chakravarthy: Kings XI Punjab (KXIP)
KKR and KXIP were involved in bidding heavily for Tamil Nadu spinner at last year's auction and in end, he went to latter for a mammoth INR 8.40 crores, which was 42 times his base price of INR 20 lakhs. But Chakravarthy played just one game, where he conceded 35 runs in three overs and picked up a wicket. Later, due to an injury, he couldn’t take part in furr matches. KXIP might try to get him at a cheaper price this time and could even use an RTM card for him.

3. Colin Ingram: Delhi Capitals (DC)
SRH and DC franchises went for South African batsman in 2018, seeing his vast experience in playing at global T20 tournaments. Ingram was ultimately sold for INR 6.40 crores to DC. However, he couldn’t really justify this price as he only scored 184 runs in 12 games. Capitals, thus, might put him back in pool and buy him again.
2. Manish Pandey: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)
Manish Pandey was bought for an eye-watering ₹11 crore in 2018 but had a dismal season. Pandey started 2019 season on an abject te and was dropped for a few games. However, he found form at his favoured .3 position and scored three half-centuries. He could be considered as one of best middle-order batsmen in India at present, yet if SRH still wants to buy him back, y might look to for a much lesser price.

1. Jaydev Unadkat: Rajasthan Royals (RR)
He fetched INR 11.5 crores in IPL 2018 auction and was sold to Rajasthan Royals (RR) but he failed to live up to expectations. RR used this same strategy in IPL 2019 and put him back in auction pool, only to get him at a cheaper price. His price went up to INR 8.40 crores this time. Unadkat, however, had a dismal outing in IPL 2019 as well. So, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Unadkat is hired for a much lesser price by any franchise this time.
