All-time Best XI of unsold players in IPL history
There have been many such instances in the past, when big players have gone unsold in the IPL auctions, despite the form on their side.
4. Evin Lewis
Evin Lewis is a drastically underrated player, especially in the Indian Premier League. The explosive West Indian batsman has done exceptionally well in the limited opportunities but never reaped rewards for the same. In 2018, the southpaw was the second-highest run-scorer for the Mumbai Indians, with 382 runs.
However, he was dropped out of the playing XI in the very next season, and Quinton de Kock was given a nod ahead of him. Ultimately, he was sent back to the auction pool this year. Despite being in red-hot form, he failed to attract any bidders. He recently had grabbed headlines for an unbeaten 99 against Ireland followed by a century, but it didn’t help his cause in the auction.
Lewis features in this XI as the number 4 batsman, not at his favourite opening position. He can be the accelerator in the middle overs and handle the spinners with ease. Him being a left-hander adds another dimension to the team.
