The Australian World Cup-winning fast bowlers were bought for a mind-boggling Rs 24.75 Crore and Rs 20.50 Crore respectively in IPL Auction.
Mitchell Starc (bought for Rs 24.75 crore) and Pat Cummins (Rs 20.5 crore) were the biggest buys in the Indian Premier League 2024 auction, with both Australians going past the overall record for the costliest buy at an IPL auction. Starc has not played in the IPL since 2015.
Despite that, Kolkata Knight Riders chose to break the bank for him with a winning bid of Rs 24.75 crore. Australia cricket captain Cummins was picked by Sunrisers Hyderabad for a record price of Rs 20.5 crore, before Starc pipped him.
Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings splashed the cash on Daryl Mitchell, buying the New Zealander for Rs 14 crore. India’s Harshal Patel was the third costliest pick for Rs 11.75 crore while the breakout star of the recent Cricket World Cup, Rachin Ravindra, was snapped up by CSK for Rs 1.8 crore.
Steven Smith, Josh Hazlewood, and Jimmy Neesham went unsold as did India’s Karun Nair. The names of 332 players went under the gavel at the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai on Tuesday as the 10 franchises put finishing touches to their squads before the upcoming season.
