IPL: Most underutilised XI in the history of the tournament
These players have gone on to shine for other teams.
8. Yuzvendra Chahal (MI)
Yuzvendra Chahal, whose entire IPL career has mainly been associated with the RCB team, had actually begun his IPL journey with the MI franchise. The leg-spinner was initially purchased by the Mumbai team in the IPL 2011 auction at a price tag of INR 10 lakhs.
However, it was only in the 2013 season when Chahal got his maiden IPL game in which, he disappointingly leaked over 30 runs in his spell. Also, perhaps because of the MI team already playing with his two high-class spinners (Harbhajan Singh and Pragyan Ojha) getting featured regularly was meant to be elusive. But Chahal, even, later on, had played a reasonable role in making MI win the CLT20.
Nevertheless, we all know now how Chahal has now become a vital cog of the RCB team and he surely is one of India’s premier spinner in white-ball cricket. All in all, probably not bagging him back in IPL 2014 would have made MI miss a long term trick.
