ODI World Cup performers and uncapped Indians were in big demand at the IPL 2024 auction.
Mitchell Starc, an Australian fast bowler, broke the record for the most expensive player at an IPL auction when he was acquired by the Kolkata Knight Riders for INR 24.75 crore, or around US$2,982,000. At the IPL 2024 auction in Dubai, he beat Sunrisers Hyderabad’s winning price of INR 20.50 crore (about US$2,470,000) for Australia’s skipper Pat Cummins, who won the ODI World Cup. The bid was placed less than two hours earlier.

When Starc went up for bid in the first fast bowlers’ set of the day, the Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals engaged in a battle for him. But the Gujarat Titans and KKR, the only teams with more than INR 30 crore in their coffers at the time, quickly took control of it.
