Ahead of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 Auction, here's a look at top five worst buys in Indian Premier League (IPL) history.

In 2015, Delhi Capitals acquired Yuvraj Singh for jaw-dropping Rs 16 crore. The left-handed all-rounder's performance fell short of expectations as he scored only 248 runs with a modest average of 19.07 during that season.

In 2017, Sunrisers Hyderabad erred in selecting Manish Pandey for Rs 11 crore. Despite the high price tag, the batsman managed to accumulate only 284 runs at a poor average of 25.81.

In the 2021 auction, Mumbai Indians secured Jhye Richardson for a significant Rs 14 crore. Despite the high price tag, the right-arm pacer had a subdued performance, managing to claim just 3 wickets in 3 matches during the season.

In the 2017 auction, Royal Challengers Bangalore invested Rs 12 crores in acquiring Tymal Mills. However, the English pacer's performance in five matches was below expectations, as he managed to secure only five wickets during the season.

Following an impressive season with Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017, Rajasthan Royals invested Rs 11.5 crore in Jaydev Unadkat. However, in the 2018 edition, Unadkat's performance was below par as he could only manage to take 11 wickets in 15 matches.
