Some players who have not played international cricket ended up being sold for big money at the IPL 2021 auction in Chennai on Thursday. Here is a look at some of these uncapped players who are set to turn into overnight millionaires.

Meredith had listed his base price at INR 40 lakh but the uncapped Australian player attracted a bidding war between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings when his name was drawn. Though DC and Punjab Kings engaged in an intense bidding war, the Australian youngster was eventually signed by the Punjab side.
Meredith was a star performer for the Hobart Hurricanes side in the Big Bash League. In 34 games for the Hurricanes, he has bagged 43 wickets at an average of 23.60 and an economy rate of 8.06.
