Top 5 IPL's Disappointing High-Priced Picks

Top 5 IPL's Disappointing High-Priced Picks: Have you heard the saying – Big name, small performance. In the Indian Premier League (IPL), a Big price doesn't guarantee best performance.

CONCLUSION 

Five players were purchased for a large sum of money. However, they did not perform as expected. As a result, many fans and team members were disappointed. So I hope that this time also the player has been bought clearly by spending more money than this so that the player can perform well.
