Varun started his cricket career as a wicket-keeper in his school days. Then turned into a medium-pacer as he grew up before quitting a high profile architect job and eventually settled with bowling spin, thanks to his knee injury.

He was bought by Kings XI Punjab for a whopping amount of Rs 8.40 crore. However, he played only one match which was against Kolkata Knight Riders in which he got only one wicket and conceded 35 runs out of which he gave 25 in his first over.

2. Jaydev Unadkat

Jaydev Dipakbhai Unadkat plays for the Indian national team and for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League and also for Saurashtra in domestic cricket.

He was then bought by Rajasthan Royals who spent Rs 11.50 crore for him but they released him as his performance was not as per the expectations. However, RR again picked him for Rs 8.40 crore but he disappointed again.
