When we talk about the Indian Premier League, the auction is where the real excitement begins. Currently, the title for the most expensive player in IPL history belongs to Mitchell Starc. In the 2024 auction, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) broke all records by buying him for a massive ₹24.75 crore. Just before that, Pat Cummins had also crossed the 20-crore mark, showing how much teams value world-class fast bowlers.
