There are multiple reasons why certain players keep going back to the auction pool. At times, it is their performance. At times, it is their price tag and the extra cushion that the franchises want ahead of the auctions. It is also a combination of both at times.

Hence, there are multiple players who have gone into the auction pool on many occasions. Thus, as a result, they’ve ended up playing for multiple teams as well. However, there are also players who have been bought back by the same team in the next auction for a lesser price.

Thus, here are four players who have been bought for the most number of times in the history of the IPL Auction

1. Jaydev Unadkat – 8 times

It was in 2010 that Jaydev Unadkat gained the limelight. As a 19-year-old, he made his Test debut for India in 2010 as he replaced Zaheer Khan. However, it was in that year itself Unadkat made his IPL debut. He played for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for his first three years in IPL cricket.

In 2010, he featured in just three games but played seven games in 2011. However, that went down to just one game in 2012. Unadkat picked up 10 wickets in these 11 games across three seasons. However, in 2013, he was bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for a big sum of $525,000. The left-arm pacer picked up 13 wickets in as many games but mega auctions in 2014 meant he had to go back to the auction pool.

In 2014, he was picked by Delhi Daredevils where he played nine games that year. Next year, he was picked by DD yet again but played just one game in 2015. Hence, Saurashtra left-armer was back in the auctions in 2016 where he was picked by KKR once again. However, opportunities deserted him and hence, in 2017, he became Rising Pune Supergiant’s premier Indian pacer.

But with the return of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), Pune were eliminated from the IPL. Thus, in 2018, he was bought by RR. In 2019, he was released only to be bought by back RR at a slightly lower price. Hence, Unadkat has been in the auctions eight times out of the 10 seasons he’s played.
