Pawan Negi caught attention with his all-round performances for Chennai Super Kings in 2015, showcasing his abilities as a useful spinner and a capable lower-order batter. This prompted the Delhi Capitals (then Delhi Daredevils) to invest a hefty INR 8.5 crore in him during the 2016 auction, a move that raised eyebrows due to concerns about his consistency.
However, the investment failed to deliver the expected returns. Negi featured in just 8 matches, struggling to make an impact with either bat or ball. He managed only one wicket at an economy rate of 9.33, while scoring just 57 runs at an average of 28.50, making it one of the more underwhelming high-value signings in IPL history.
