5 Experienced players who remained unsold in the IPL 2017 auction

4. Ishant Sharma

Ishant Sharma, also a Rising Pune Supergiants player last season, had a campaign to forget. As he leaked runs but that is only one of the many reasons. Ishant has only been a part of the Indian Test team of late. He also had based himself at the highest price possible, which is not a smart thing to do.

Some of the franchises who wanted him held themselves because of his base price. Gautam Gambhir, the Kolkata knight Riders skipper also was surprised with the same. All that coupled up and nobody actually raised their card when Ishant was presented twice for the auction.
