IPL Auction 2024: 72 cricketers find takers, a whopping INR 230 crore spent

A total of 72 players were handed an IPL contract on Tuesday with 10 teams splurging a combined amount of INR 230.45 crore. 

Uncapped India cricketer Shubham Dubey and Sameer Rizvi’s fortunes turned overnight after RR and CSK picked them up for INR 5.8 crore and INR 8.4 crore respectively. 

M Shahrukh Khan and Kumar Kushagra also had a huge payday after Mitchell Starc became the costliest player in the history of IPL, going past his captain Pat Cummins’ record set barely an hour ago. 

KKR splurged a whopping INR 24.75 crore to rope in Starc while Cummins was picked up by SRH for INR 20.5 crore. Indian pacers Umesh Yadav and Shivam Mavi went for INR 5.8 crore and INR 6.4 crore respectively to GT and LSG. 

New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell came close with INR 14 crore. He was picked up by CSK. PBKS broke the bank for Harshal Patel, who was bought for INR 11.75 crore. CSK got stuck in with the all-rounders, picking Shardul Thakur ( INR 4 crore) and Rachin Ravindra (INR 1.8 crore) in the second set.

West Indies T20 captain Rovman Powell was sold for a whopping INR 7.40 crore to RR after a fierce bidding war between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders. Powell, who had a base price of ₹ INR crore, was the first player to be sold in IPL 2024 auction. 

There were no takers for Rilee Rossouw but Harry Brook was snapped up by DC for INR 4 crore. There was another bidding war for Australia’s Travis Head between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad. 

Finally, the World Cup final hero, whose base price was INR 2 crore, was sold for INR 6.8 crore to SRH. There were no takers for Steve Smith, Karun Nair and Manish Pandey. Quite expectedly, there were very few takers for the overseas keepers and spinners as the likes of Josh Inglis, Kusal Mendis, Adil Rashid and Mujeeb Ur Rahman went unsold. 

In the accelerated auction, uncapped Australian left-arm pacer Spencer Johnson grabbed attention after Gujarat Titans acquired him for INR 10 crore, while the likes of international cricketers in Rassie van der Dussen, Jimmy Neesham, Michael Bracewell, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson all went unsold. GT also bagged uncapped wicketkeeper Robin Minz for INR 3.6 crore.
