The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been the perfect place for the youngsters to grab attention with their talent. As its timeline speaks, &#8216;Where talent meets opportunity&#8217;, there are multiple players who made full use of the conditions and made it to the national squad. Talk about the Pandya brothers, Jasprit Bumrah, and many more to name, they have made the nation proud in the international arena.

Well, the thirteenth edition of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a> was full of drama. Multiple occasions of super overs, match-changing knocks, match-changing spells, and unbelievable catches ensured that people enjoyed their time with the IPL. Adding on, the IPL was a bright spot during the time of darkness of the pandemic. With every possible precaution, the teams were successful in ensuring the safety of the players.

Unfortunately, the level of competition has been increasing every season. Experienced players are struggling to make a comeback and the inexperienced ones are scoring big in this tournament. Well, it is the IPL and unpredictability is its second name.

Let us have a look at the 5 domestic star players who didn&#8217;t get a bid in IPL 2021 Auction:

1. Gurkeerat Singh

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/gurkeerat-singh-hopeful-of-getting-more-matches-from-rcb-in-ipl-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gurkeerat Singh</a> is a hard-hitting batsman who can bowl part-time spin. In the domestic circuit, he has played in over 86 matches and averages 48.15 with the bat. Adding on, in domestic T20 tournaments, he has represented his home side for 113 matches. In the shortest format, he has the highest score of 93*. A strike rate of 123.74 is decent for a middle-order batsman.

Well, Singh can bowl some part-time off-spin too! In his List A career, he has taken over 32 wickets with the best bowling figures of 5/29. Talking about the domestic T20 performances, he has an economy rate of 7.22, which is considered good for a part-time spinner.

However, the domestic stalwart has been unable to find any form in the toughest T20 format. In his IPL career, he has scored 511 runs with a strike-rate of 121.09. Adding on, his fielding ability is spectacular, but he was unable to grab an IPL contract this time. Therefore, he makes it to this list!

2. Ankit Rajpoot

(Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

Ankit Rajpoot belongs to that group of players who had the potential to make a name for themselves but they failed to do so. He was highly rated by the former pacer, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/we-had-this-competition-in-nets-venkatesh-prasad-reveals-how-india-won-2007-t20-world-cup-bowl-out-against-pakistan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Venkatesh Prasad</a>, who was his bowling coach for two domestic seasons. Initially, Rajpoot was a part of a strong CSK squad in 2013 and 2014. Well, it was very difficult for him to get into the squad. The only positive for him was the quality time he used to spend with Australian legend Andy Bichel.

During the 2016 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Rajpoot was the third-highest wicket-taker in the tournament. He took 14 wickets in the season with an average of 14.21. In the very same year, he was picked up by the Kolkata Knight Riders for INR 1.5 crores! During that time, he had a poor IPL season as he never got into the playing eleven regularly. With only 3 wickets, he was eventually dropped.

Rajpoot was never able to make it into a playing eleven regularly. He has picked up 24 wickets in his career. Well, despite being a talented pacer, he was unsold this auction. Therefore, he makes it to this list of 5 domestic star players who didn&#8217;t get a bid in the IPL 2021 auction.

3. Varun Aaron

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-336177" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Varun-Aaron.jpg" alt="Varun Aaron" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-336177" class="wp-caption-text">Varun Aaron. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Varun Aaron was a part of Virat Kohli’s strategy to make India’s bowling attack stronger. He is still one of the fastest bowlers in the country. However, his career was heavily affected because of injuries just before an important series or tournament. His injuries affect him so much that he has represented the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2021-best-predicted-playing-xi-of-delhi-capitals-dc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Delhi Capitals</a>, Kolkata Knight Riders, and the Royal Challengers Bangalore without being a regular member for any of them.

Even though Aaron can bowl at high speeds, his line and length made him an ineffective bowler. In a game where leaking runs is a crime, Aaron has an economy rate of 8.89. With 42 wickets under his belt in 50 matches, he could not find a franchise this year. Well, the presence of other effective bowlers had decreased the chances of Aaron being sold this year.

Aaron has been unsuccessful in the IPL. An average of 34.02 is not acceptable in a highly competitive league. Adding on, his wickets&#8217; tally was blank for the 2020 season. No doubt, he was unsold this year. Therefore Aaron makes it to this list of 5 domestic star players who didn&#8217;t get a bid in the IPL 2021 auction.

4. Mohit Sharma

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-447371" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/KL-Rahul-and-Mohit-Sharma.jpg" alt="KL Rahul and Mohit Sharma" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-447371" class="wp-caption-text">KL Rahul and Mohit Sharma.

Mohit Sharma became a household name when he was playing for the Chennai Super Kings. Under <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/nasser-hussain-points-out-the-difference-between-rishabh-pant-and-ms-dhonis-style-of-batting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni’s</a> captaincy, he became a regular member of the Indian squad. He was so effective during the initial phase of his career that he made it to the World Cup squad in 2015. However, after the mega auction, his form dipped and he was unable to cope up with the competition.

Sharma has been a veteran in the domestic T20 leagues. During his 118-match T20 career, he has taken 113 wickets. Adding on, he has a decent economy rate of 8.38. Well, in his first stint with the Chennai Super Kings, he won the Purple Cap! During the 2016 auction, he was brought by the Punjab Kings for INR 6.5 crores.

His form dipped, and without any success, it was difficult for him to find a franchise. In the 2020 season, he represented the Delhi Capitals for one match. It was a forgetful match for the medium pacer as he took a single wicket for 45 runs! This year, he was unsold. Therefore, Mohit Sharma makes it to this list!

5. Hanuma Vihari

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-341437" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Hanuma-Vihari.jpg" alt="Hanuma Vihari" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-341437" class="wp-caption-text">Hanuma Vihari.

Hanuma Vihari was a member of the U19 World Cup-winning squad in 2012. His ability to occupy the crease and rotate the strike was highly praised by the former cricketers. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crictracker/posts/4330054040358617" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dale Steyn</a> had spoken highly of Vihari’s ability as a batsman. During the recent Test series against Australia, Vihari was one of the players who stood up to the occasion!

Although his batting lacked the fizz, he is highly effective as a batsman. Class, temperament, and composure, he has got them all. Adding on, he won the man of the match award on his IPL debut. But as we have said, he is an orthodox batsman and he was never a part of the playing eleven regularly. Of the 24 IPL matches, he has scored only 284 runs.

Well, this is mainly because he never got enough chances. We have witnessed that orthodox players have been successful in the shortest format. Unfortunately, Vihari was unsold this year. Therefore, he makes it to this list of 5 Domestic star players who didn&#8217;t get a bid in the IPL 2021 auction.

However, after the mega auction, his form dipped and he was unable to cope up with the competition. 
Sharma has been a veteran in the domestic T20 leagues. During his 118-match T20 career, he has taken 113 wickets. Adding on, he has a decent economy rate of 8.38. Well, in his first stint with the Chennai Super Kings, he won the Purple Cap! During the 2016 auction, he was brought by the Punjab Kings for INR 6.5 crores.
His form dipped, and without any success, it was difficult for him to find a franchise. In the 2020 season, he represented the Delhi Capitals for one match. It was a forgetful match for the medium pacer as he took a single wicket for 45 runs! This year, he was unsold. Therefore, Mohit Sharma makes it to this list!

<h3>5. Hanuma Vihari</h3>

Hanuma Vihari was a member of the U19 World Cup-winning squad in 2012. His ability to occupy the crease and rotate the strike was highly praised by the former cricketers. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crictracker/posts/4330054040358617" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dale Steyn</a> had spoken highly of Vihari’s ability as a batsman. During the recent Test series against Australia, Vihari was one of the players who stood up to the occasion!
Although his batting lacked the fizz, he is highly effective as a batsman. Class, temperament, and composure, he has got them all. Adding on, he won the man of the match award on his IPL debut. But as we have said, he is an orthodox batsman and he was never a part of the playing eleven regularly. Of the 24 IPL matches, he has scored only 284 runs. 
Well, this is mainly because he never got enough chances. We have witnessed that orthodox players have been successful in the shortest format. Unfortunately, Vihari was unsold this year. Therefore, he makes it to this list of 5 Domestic star players who didn&#8217;t get a bid in the IPL 2021 auction.

Well, it is the IPL and unpredictability is its second name.
