IPL 2024: Mitchell Starc Breaks Records As Most Expensive Player

"Who is the most expensive player in the IPL 2024?" is a major question.​ The answer is:

When Australian bowler Mitchell Starc is signed by the Kolkata Knight Riders for an incredible Rs 24.75 crore at the IPL 2024 Auction, he shattering all previous records for the most expensive player in Indian Premier League (IPL) history.

Following the bowler's 9-crore barrier pass, the Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians made the opening offers for the pacer, followed by the Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans.

Once again, the two teams went to war over bids, with the Kolkata-based team coming out on top in the end.

With KKR's offer, Starc has surpassed fellow countryman Pat Cummins to become the most expensive player in league history. For the amount of Rs 20.50 crore, Cummins was earlier sold to Sunrisers Hyderabad.

KKR currently has Rs 6.95 crore left in their bank account after blowing it all to sign the Australian pacer.

Starc led Australia's pace attack for over ten years, demonstrating his ability to use his left-arm speed to win games in international cricket. Though it's been a while since he donned an IPL shirt, the Australian star will surely bolster his new team's bowling assault.

Starc took 10 wickets in eight matches at the ICC Men's 2023 ODI World Cup.

The left-arm quick created a mark with his pace and precision in the Indian Premier League, taking 20 wickets while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in 2014.
