IPL 2024 Auction Sees Record Spending as New Teams Reveal Exciting Squads
The auction for the Indian Premier League 2024 has finished, and more than Rs 230 crore has been spent on players. Let’s check out the new teams for all 10 franchises.
In a groundbreaking moment, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) acquired Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc for a significant Rs 24.75 crores. This happened shortly after his captain, Pat Cummins, set a new record by being purchased for over Rs 20 crores by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Cummins is now the highest-paid player in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Before this, England’s all-rounder Sam Curran held the record as the most expensive player, having been bought by Punjab Kings (PBKS) for INR 18.50 crores in the previous year’s auction, according to Olympics.com.
In the IPL 2024 auction, 332 players from 13 countries were available for bidding. Out of these, 216 were Indian players. After teams retained, released, and traded players, the 10 clubs participating in the IPL 2024 auction had 77 spots to fill, including 30 spots for overseas players.
Yet, only Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) with 23 players, and Rajasthan Royals (RR) with 22 players chose not to use their full quota of 25 players. This resulted in 72 players being selected during the bidding process. Notably, all 30 international player spots were successfully filled.
Apart from Starc and Cummins, who initiated the 20 crore club in the IPL, several other players commanded high prices of 10 crores or more at the IPL 2024 auction. These include New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell, who went for Rs 14.00 crore to Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Indian pacer Harshal Patel, acquired by Punjab Kings (PBKS) for Rs 11.75 crore, West Indies pacer Alzarri Joseph, who was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for Rs 11.50 crore, and Australian pacer Spencer Johnson, secured by Gujarat Titans (GT) for Rs 10 crore.
