They are not stalwarts or stars, some not even played for top international engagements. However, they surprisingly did well in the HIL bidding process. They were sold for many times their base price. For example Satbir Singh was given a base price of USD 4650, but was sold for a whopping 45,000 by Mumbai Magicians.
An attempt has been made to find out ten such players who exceeded expectations of those who fixed their base price. The list of top ten players who exceeded their bidding base price in terms of percentage in the HIL Auction held on Sunday is given below.
S.No. Name % Increase
1 Satbir Singh 968%
