IPL: 5 players who were unsold once but are stars now
Getting unsold in the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction has to be considered a setback in a player's career. However, it is certainly not the end of the world for the individual.
2. Sandeep Sharma
Sandeep Sharma is one of the most reliable new-ball bowlers in IPL history. He has an excellent record against stalwarts like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. However, it was surprising to see him not finding a team at the IPL 2023 mini auction.
However, the Rajasthan Royals acquired services as a replacement for the injured Prasidh Krishna. Sandeep did not take too long to make an impact, as he famously defended 21 runs in the last over against one of the best finishers in cricketing history - MS Dhoni. Sandeep has improved his death bowling immensely, so much so that the Royals still use him at the back end of the innings and he keeps delivering more often than not.
