Rahul Chahar was once a trusted IPL bowler
Capped for India too, but doesn't command the same value these days unfortunately. He might still get in later.

Who are the notable players in the next set?
Akash Deep is a solid India pick and could have some decent bids. Overseas, Matt Henry could be an interesting name too, as could Jacob Duffy. Anrich Nortje is fit again, but would teams trust him?

Plenty of debate around Sarfaraz going unsold
He might still be picked in the later rounds, but given his form (he hit 73 off 22 today btw), it would have been expected that he will get a bid in the opening set itself. Maybe, he's not anyone's first-choice
