5 Overpaid players of all-time in IPL history
Over the years, there have been many players who have gone to the franchise for huge sums of money but failed to deliver what was expected out of them.
3. Chris Morris
Chris Morris is a talented South African player who has been around the scene for quite some time. His major skills include his ability to bowl at the death, extract some bounce from the wicket with his height, and given an opportunity, hit the ball out of the park batting lower down the order.
There is no doubt that Chris Morris is good at all these aspects. He may not be the most consistent player, but he is quite good. However, the bids which he has received in the past few auctions are a little more than what one can expect. After playing for Delhi from 2016 to 2019, he was released by the franchise.
Royal Challengers Bangalore bought him for INR 10 crores for the IPL 2020, which eventually took place in the UAE. He played in nine matches and picked up 11 wickets with a decent average of 19.09 and a really good economy of 6.63. RCB released him next season, and for the 2021 edition, he was bought by Rajasthan Royals, one of his former franchises, for a whopping INR 16.25 crores. This also made him the most expensive player in IPL history, coming from an auction.
