Five top earners from IPL auctions so far: From Yuvraj Singh to Jaydev Unadkat

Bengaluru, February 9: The Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen some marquee names being retained for a capped fee, but some players have gone on to earn big bucks only in the auctions over the years.
While the likes of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and others who have been retained by their respective franchises easily have earned top dollar, there are few players who have hit the jackpot in auctions right from the inaugural auction in 2008.
And among them, there are a few journey men who have played in multiple franchises and players who have been the most expensive players in the auction.
