The Indian Premier League (IPL) is billed by many cricket fans as the toughest T20 tournament on the planet. The best cricketers of the world compete against each other at this event. In the last 13 years, this tourney has established itself as one of the most popular events across all sports.

BCCI initiated the IPL in 2008, with eight city-based franchises, namely Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals, Deccan Chargers, Kings XI Punjab, Delhi Daredevils, and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The tournament has had its ups and downs in its incredible journey thus far. One of the unique things about the IPL is the auction.

Before every new season, the BCCI conducts an auction, where the teams can bid for the players. Generally, the franchises retain their elite players. The rest of the players&#8217; retention is decided by looking at their previous performance. However, the nature of the IPL is such that sometimes a player who did not impress retains his spot, while on the other side, a few good players surprisingly return to the auction.

Here, we will glance at those five players whom the IPL teams released despite faring decently:

5. Yuvraj Singh &#8211; Royal Challengers Bangalore

The hero of India&#8217;s 2011 World Cup and 2007 T20 World Cup triumphs, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/tere-gaal-zyada-mote-hain-ya-mere-yuvraj-singh-takes-a-cheeky-dig-at-rohit-sharma-and-rishabh-pant-deletes-tweets-later/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Yuvraj Singh</a>, surprisingly never settled at an IPL team. In his 11-year long career, Singh played for the Kings XI Punjab, Pune Warriors, Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The Bangalore-based franchise had signed him for a whopping 14 crores in the 2014 season.

Yuvraj had a decent season as he was the second highest run-getter for the team, with 376 runs in 14 matches. Only AB de Villiers scored more runs for RCB than Yuvraj in that season. The southpaw had slammed three half-centuries, and scored runs at an average of 34.18.

With his left-arm spin bowling skills, Yuvraj dismissed five batsmen of the opposition team. He took a four-wicket haul against the Rajasthan Royals. Still, RCB did not retain him for the 2015 season.

4. Sourav Ganguly &#8211; Kolkata Knight Riders

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-and-sourav-ganguly-in-trouble-for-promoting-fantasy-sports-apps/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sourav Ganguly</a> was the face of the Kolkata Knight Riders team in the 2010 season. The legendary batsman shone for the Shah Rukh Khan-owned franchise in season three of IPL. He was the team&#8217;s best batsman as Ganguly aggregated 493 runs in 14 innings at a magnificent average of 37.92.

It is worth noting that none of the other KKR batsmen managed to touch the 300-run mark in the 2010 season. Meanwhile, Sourav scored four half-centuries for his team. He also recorded the highest individual score (88) by a KKR batsman in that tournament.

The BCCI announced a mega-auction for the 2011 season. While it was widely expected that Dada would stay at KKR, he returned to the auction, where he did not find any bidders. Ultimately, Pune Warriors signed him as a replacement player.

3. Michael Hussey &#8211; Chennai Super Kings

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-386698" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Michael-Hussey.jpg" alt="Michael Hussey" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-386698" class="wp-caption-text">Michael Hussey. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

One of the most shocking player release in IPL history happened before the 2014 season. The Chennai Super Kings did not retain Mr. Cricket Michael Hussey for the seventh edition of the league. Hussey had scored 733 runs for the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ms-dhoni-and-other-csk-members-board-flight-for-india-after-their-ipl-2020-campaign-ends/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MS Dhoni</a>-led outfit in the sixth season.

The Australian veteran had won the Orange Cap award for his supreme consistency in that season. Still, CSK did not retain him for the next edition of the IPL. Hussey had registered six fifty-plus scores for Chennai that year.

In the IPL Auction 2014, Mumbai Indians signed him for 5 Crores. He could not continue his past form, but he did well enough to earn another contract from CSK in 2015. Currently, he is the batting coach of the 3-time IPL champions.

2. Nitish Rana &#8211; Mumbai Indians

Uncapped Indian batsman <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/loss-of-a-loved-one-hurts-sachin-tendulkar-praises-nitish-rana-and-mandeep-singh-for-playing-amidst-family-tragedies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nitish Rana</a> has made a name for himself with his marvellous performances in the Indian Premier League. Rana has represented two franchises in the IPL so far, namely the Mumbai Indians and the Kolkata Knight Riders. He started his journey with MI and played a crucial role in their 2017 championship win.

Rana was the third highest run-getter for the Mukesh Ambani-owned franchise. The left-handed batsman scored 333 runs in just 12 innings of that season and had a better season than captain Rohit Sharma. Nitish hit 24 boundaries and 17 sixes in MI&#8217;s triumph.

However, he found himself in the mega auction next year. The Kolkata Knight Riders snapped him up there. He has been an integral part of the Knight Riders squad in the last three seasons.

1. Shaun Marsh &#8211; Kings XI Punjab

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-139636" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Shaun-Marsh.jpg" alt="Shaun Marsh" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-139636" class="wp-caption-text">Shaun Marsh of Kings XI Punjab. (Photo: Surjeet Yadav/IANS)</figcaption>

Shaun Marsh was the first batsman to win the Orange Cap award in the IPL. The left-handed Aussie remained a part of the Kings XI Punjab for a decade. His performances witnessed a dip as the years passed. However, in 2017, he had a decent season with the bat.

Marsh got a chance to bat in only eight innings of IPL 2017, where he scored 264 runs and finished the competition as his side&#8217;s third best batsman. Shaun&#8217;s strike rate was 136.08, while his batting average was 33.

Surprisingly, he did not get a contract from any other IPL team. Although he could not make it big at the international level, Marsh will always remembered as one of the best IPL players of all time. He scored 2,477 runs in 71 IPL games.

Here we bring you 5 players who were released by their IPL team despite of them performing well in the previous seasons.
