IPL 2021 auction takes a countdown with just two days remaining for the final showdown. With 292 players available for the auction, IPL 2021 auction will be a definite entertaining event to look upon. Franchises like Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Delhi Capitals (DC), Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Mumbai Indians (MI), Rajasthan Royals (RR), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are all set to bet on the best choices of players.
IPL 2021 auction is set to be held in Chennai on Thursday, February 18. Due to the stiff competition in the Indian Premier League, it’s often tough for players to attract franchisees. Talking about overseas players’ auction, the segment witnessed a tough competition as many well-known players are part of the auctions.
Franchises have a limited place for overseas players in the team, so they take a keen interest while choosing the best players for themselves. Here we will look at five legendary overseas players who might go unsold in IPL 2021 auction.
Aaron Finch
Australian batsman Aaron Finch was picked up by Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2020. However, after he could not perform very well with the bat, he was dropped by RCB. Last season, Aaron Finch scored 268 runs in 12 matches. This consisted of just one half-century.
RCB had a lot of expectations from Aaron Finch which he failed to deliver. The 34-year-old faces tough competition in the openers’ slot. Since IPL 2017 season, the Australian cricketer has managed to score only 3 half-centuries in 35 matches. So stats are not in Finch’s favour and he might lose on to attract buyers.
