Pat Cummins was purchased by Sunrisers Hyderabad for a record breaking ₹20.5 crore, but he only held the title for 77 minutes. Many knew the Australians would have players earning a lot of money, but they did not expect them to break records, like Mitchell Starc. He has now become the most expensive player in IPL Auction history.
Starc, who returned to the IPL after 8 long years, was sold to Kolkata Knight Riders for ₹24.75 crore. Delhi Capitals had opened the bid, with Mumbai Indians challenging them. After a while, both backed out with Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans outbidding each other. This went on until the bid reached ₹24.75 cr, and the Titans backed out.
With this, he is now the most expensive buy in the IPL. Starc played in the IPL in 2014 and 2015, representing Royal Challengers Bangalore. After avoiding the league for 8 years, he has finally returned.
