Who are the top 5 most expensive buys in the history of IPL auctions?
Rishabh Pant holds the record for being the most expensive player in IPL auction history. He got the record-shattering bid from Lucknow Super Giants during the IPL 2025 mega-auction.
4. Mitchell Starc - 24.75 crore
Mitchell Starc became the highest-paid player in the IPL 2024 mini-auction. He returned to the cash-rich league after a nine-year hiatus. The Australian speedster took some time to hit his straps. However, as the tournament progressed, he got better.
In the playoffs, Starc played a significant role as Shreyas Iyer-led Knight Riders won Qualifier 1 and the final against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The left-arm pacer won the Player of the Match awards in both instances.
