1.Aaron Finch
Australian limited-overs skipper Aaron Finch, in one of the biggest surprises of the auction, remained unsold. Finch, who has played for the most number of teams in the IPL, i.e., 8, didn't find any home this season after returning with a mediocre season with the Royal Challengers Bangalore and a horrible BBL.

2.Alex Hales
Alex Hales, who according to him, is at the peak of his form, wasn't able to find any side to pick him. The currently out-of-favour England batsman has set the Big Bash League (BBL) ablaze with consistency and explosive batting was touted to be one of the biggest buys of the auction. However, no team picked the opener. (Image: Sydney Thunder)
3.Jason Roy
Another England opener who met with the same destiny was Jason Roy. Roy, who had a decent BBL playing for the Perth Scorchers, has proven his worth with quality hitting and the ability to play long explosive innings. However, no team showed any interest in the 30-year old. (Image: BCCI/IPL)
