Australian pacers Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins emerged as the most expensive buys as the 2024 Indian Premier League player auctions culminated at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai on Tuesday.
Cummins, who captained his country to the 2023 ICC Men’s ODI World Cup title, became the first player in IPL history to breach the Rs 20-crore barrier when he was snapped up for Rs 20.5 crores by Sunrisers Hyderabad after an intense bidding war with the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Just hours later, left-arm-pacer Starc surpassed the amount to become the most expensive player when the two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders splurged Rs 24.75 crores to wade off a stiff bidding challenge posed by Gujarat Titans.
New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell earned Rs 14 crores from the five-time champions Chennai Super Kings, while the Royal Challengers Bangalore spent Rs 11.50 crores for West Indian speedster Alzarri Joseph.
As far as Indian players were concerned, Harshal Patel was roped in for Rs 11.75 crores by Punjab Kings.
The young Shivam Mavi, too, created a lot of buzz at the auction table and will ply his trade for the Lucknow Super Giants at Rs. 6.80 crores.
All ten teams can still make changes in their respective squads via the trade window, which will be open until a month before the start of the season.
