IPL 2024: Mitchell Starc Breaks Pat Cummins’ Record For Being The Most Expensive Player In A Matter Of Hours
Another Unprecedented Achievement For The Indian Premier League Auction Occurred When Mitchell Starc Was Selected At The IPL 2024 Auction In Dubai For An Incredible 24.75 Crore.
Stars From Australia’s World Cup Winning Team Were Highly Sought After At The Auction. When Pat Cummins Signed A 20.5 Crore Contract With Sunrisers Hyderabad, He Became The Most Expensive Player In IPL History. Shortly After, His Fellow Countryman Starc Shattered The Previous Record And Emerged As The Highest-Paid Player In The Tournament’s Annals. Kolkata Knight Riders Selected Starc For An Incredible INR 24.75 Crore.
The Australian Left-Arm Pacer Was Pursued By Four Teams. Following Starc Were The Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans, And Kolkata Knight Riders. The First Two Teams To Enter The Bidding War For Starc Were Delhi And Mumbai, But They Withdrew Before The 10 Crore Threshold. First Came Gujarat, Then Kolkata, And Both Teams Continued To Raise Their Paddles One After The Other. The Moment Starc Crossed The 20 Crore Threshold, Everyone In The Auction Room Applauded. However, Riders And The Titans Continued To Bid For The ODI World Cup Many Times Because They Were So Enamored By Starc.
