History was created at the Indian Premier League 2024 auction in Dubai on Tuesday with Mitchell Starc becoming the most expensive player in IPL history, with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) acquiring the Australian pacer’s services for a whopping bid of INR 24.75 crores.
The IPL 2024 auction saw two players breach the 20 crore mark for the first time in the cash-rich T20 cricket league. Before Starc went for the record sum, his Aussie team-mate Pat Cummins was acquired by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for 20.50 crore.
All-rounder Sam Curran was previously the most expensive player in IPL, with Punjab Kings (PBKS) shelling out INR 18.50 crore for the Englishman at last year’s auction.
A total of 332 players from 13 countries went under the hammer at the IPL 2024 auction. Of these, 216 were Indians. After player retention, releases and trades, a maximum of 77 slots, including 30 overseas player quotas, were left to be filled up by the 10 teams combined at the IPL 2024 auction.
However, 72 players were picked up during bidding with only KKR (23) and RR (22) opting not to go for their full quota of 25 players. However, all 30 overseas players’ berths were accounted for.
Besides Starc and Cummins initiating the 20-crore club in the IPL, New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell (INR 14.00 cr to CSK), Harshal Patel (INR 11.75 cr to PBKS), Alzarri Joseph (INR 11.50 cr to RCB) and Spencer Johnson (INR 10 cr to GT) were the players who commanded premiums of 10 crore or over at the IPL 2024 auction.
