The IPL 2020 Auction is exactly a month away as all the franchises would have begun their respective planning process for the money splashing event. Over the years, the fans have seen several lesser-known stars earn massive contracts from the IPL franchises. Apart from the unknown talents, there have also been cases where the teams spent all they had to gain the services of players who were released by another team just before the auction.

The best example of this scenario is Yuvraj Singh’s auction in 2015. Royal Challengers Bangalore had bought the 2011 World Cup hero at a whopping amount of 14 Crores INR. Since his performance was not satisfactory, they released him before the 2015 auction. Delhi Daredevils snapped Yuvraj up after submitting a record bid of 16 Crores INR.

Thus, in this year’s auction, there could be instances that a released player may earn more than what he did in 2019. The player could even become a million dollar baby i.e. he can earn a contract of 7 Crores INR or more.

Here’s a look at the 5 players who can be million-dollar babies in IPL 2020 Auction

The hard-hitting opener from Australia, Chris Lynn had been in good touch in IPL 2019 where he had scored over 400 runs for Kolkata Knight Riders.

However, the franchise surprisingly released him before the auction. Given how big a name Lynn is in T20 cricket, he will on the wish-list of a plethora of franchises.

The right-handed batsman had proved his talent recently in the T10 League where he broke the record of the highest individual score of the league by playing a knock of 91 runs. Hence, the chances that the Australian opener earns a big fat contract this year are very high.

Another opening batsman to feature on this list the former Mumbai Indians star, Evin Lewis. Before the auction, the rumors were rife that the West Indian would move to Rajasthan Royals however, the trade could not be completed before the deadline.

As a result, Lewis finds himself in the auction pool of IPL Auction 2020. Though the defending champions did not require his services this year, there are a host of teams who need an aggressive opener in their side and hence, they will look to include Lewis in their squad.

The Caribbean star had received a contract from 3.80 Crores INR during the 2018 auction but since this year’s auction will have only a few big names, his price may increase a lot.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-328835" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Sam-Curran.jpg" alt="Sam Curran" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-328835" class="wp-caption-text">Sam Curran.

The million-dollar baby of IPL Auction 2019, Sam Curran will return to the auction in IPL 2020 as his franchise Kings XI Punjab found him too expensive to be retained in the team. The Mohali-based franchise had submitted a bid of 7.2 Crores INR in the previous auction to outbid Royal Challengers Bangalore and sign Curran.

The English all-rounder did a fine job for Punjab as he took a hat-trick for them in the bowling department while he had a fifty with the bat as well. Now that the left-arm fast bowler will go under the hammer on 19th December, expect him to fetch a million-dollar deal once again.

Kings XI Punjab’s IPL 2019 coach Mike Hesson has joined the coaching staff of Royal Challengers Bangalore this year. Thus, the fans can expect the Virat Kohli-led outfit to go after Sam Curran.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-330125" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Marcus-Stoinis-1.jpg" alt="Marcus Stoinis RCB" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-330125" class="wp-caption-text">Marcus Stoinis. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Royal Challengers Bangalore had raised quite a few eyebrows by dropping the Australian all-rounder, Marcus Stoinis from their squad because the right-handed batsman is a proven match-winner in T20 cricket.

He has good numbers in the shortest format of the game thus; it made little sense to do away with him. Stoinis has been a part of the IPL since 2016 besides, he had a batting average of 52.75 in the previous edition.

The 30-year-old has played a lot of cricket in India which is why he may even emerge as the most expensive player of this year’s auction. If needed, the Aussie can even open the innings for the franchises. This shows that he can bring a lot of value to the squad.

(Photo: Surjeet Yadav/IANS)</figcaption>

Delhi Capitals seemed to be right on the money during the trade window but, the team management committed a few errors while deciding the list of their released players. Delhi have a stellar top order consisting of Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant.

Chris Morris could have been the perfect number 6 for this line-up with Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin at number 7 and 8. However, Morris finds himself out of the Delhi Capitals before the auction. The former Chennai Super Kings player has been a resourceful T20 player having played 185 matches in his eight-year-long T20 career.

The 32-year-old still has a lot of cricket left in him and though he had an off-season in 2019, the franchises can back the South African to come off good in the 2020 season. Just like Marcus Stoinis, Morris stands a chance to become the most expensive pick of this auction.
