2. Mohammed Siraj

Ace India pacer Mohammed Siraj was one of the most surprising exclusions on retention day. The spearhead of RCB’s bowling attack, Siraj, was let go ahead of the mega auction, and his inclusion in the auction pool could attract a plethora of bids from the franchises.
RCB roped in Siraj at the IPL 2018 Player Auction for INR 2.20 crore, and he has been one of the biggest stars for the franchise. It is worth noting that with 93 IPL matches played so far, Mohammed Siraj has taken 93 wickets and maintains an economy of 30.35 runs. If he makes it to the IPL auction pool, it is almost guaranteed that several franchises will break the bank for him.
