IPL Expensive Players 2024 |Top Paid IPL Players]

Hello IPL Lovers, are you looking for an IPL auction in 2024? This means you want to know about the top 15 expensive IPL players, so you are landing in the right place.

Top Buys in IPL 2024

Here are the top buys in the IPL 2024 auction.

Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc went for ₹24,75,00,000 to Kolkata Knight Riders. This was a surprising move as Starc broke all the previous records of IPL auctions. Pat Cummins couldn’t hold the place for the most expensive player in the history of IPL when KKR bid a whooping ₹24,75,00,000 for Starc.

Starc needs no introductions. His bowling is poetry. The left-arm inswinging deliveries to a right hander, you can write novels on this stuff. Over the last three world cups, Starc has shown dominance and proved who is the best fast bowler in modern history. When you see all of this, ₹24,75,00,000 seems nothing.

Pat Cummins

Pat went for ₹20,50,00,000 to Sunrisers Hyderabad. With this price, Pat Cummins broke Sam Curran’s record for the most expensive player in the history of IPL. Although he couldn’t hold this place for long, there was no debate on whether he deserved this place or not. He won the Ashes Tour 2023; Cummins also won the CWC 2023 and brought his team up from a critical situation in the tournament.

Sunrisers Hyderabad is in dire need of a skipper. Of course, bidding this much money on Pat Cummins is nothing. This investment will pay them back well if Cummins delivers even half of his work for the Australian Cricket team.

If we talk about his T20 stats, he has played 128 matches and has picked up 143 wickets at an economy rate of 7.98. He is also a very handy batsman down the order. Cummins scores with an average of 16 and a strike rate of 138. Hence, when push comes to shove, he can also score runs for the team. But his captaincy is what SRH desires the most.

Daryl Mitchell

Daryl went for ₹14,00,00,000 to the Chennai Super Kings. Mitchell proved himself as a batsman who can score runs faster on Indian surfaces during his stint in the Cricket World Cup 2023. He was New Zealand’s backbone in the tournament, scoring 552 runs in 9 innings at an average of 69 and a strike rate of 111. This was his performance in an ODI tournament. Now imagine what he will do for the defending champions in IPL.

Talking about his T20 stats, he has 188 T20s and has scored 4035 runs, averaging 30 at a strike rate of 130. For a top-order batsman, these are pretty decent stats.

Harshal Patel

Harshal is not the most expensive Indian player in the IPL. However, he is the most expensive Indian player bought during the IPL auction in 2024. He went for ₹11,75,00,000 to Punjab Kings. Harshal is passionate about cricket, so he stayed in India rather than migrating with his family to the USA. And it paid off; he earned his international debut in 2021 against the Kiwis. He has played 178 T20 matches and has taken 209 wickets at an economy rate of 8.24. He will be a wicket-taking option for PKBS for sure.

Alzarri Joseph

Alzarri Joseph went for ₹11,50,00,000 to RCB. He is one of the fastest bowlers in the RCB bench, and might be their prime wicket-taker in IPL 2024. Alzarri has played 101 T20s and has taken 121 wickets. His best bowling figures in T20s are 6-12. He did this in T20 format. This is some performance from the tall fast bowler.

Spencer Johnson

Spencer Johnson went to Gujarat Titans for ₹10,00,00,000. He is another fast bowler on the list of the most expensive players in IPL auction this year. He hasn’t played that much T20 cricket. Spencer only has 20 wickets in 22 matches at an economy of 7.85. He only has one international T20 match under his wing. It is quite surprising to see him on this list. Let’s see how GT will utilize him in IPL 2024.

Sameer Rizvi

Sameer went for ₹8,40,00,000 to the CSK. The youngster has played only 11 T20 matches. However, he has scored 295 runs at an average of 49 and a strike rate of 130. He lacks experience but has shown potential in his short stint in the domestic circuit. Will he be able to deliver and showcase his talents? We will only find that in the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League.

Rilee Rossouw

Rilee has gone for ₹8,00,00,000 to the Punjab Kings. He was among the most expensive batters last year as well. And this time, he is the 7th most expensive player in the auction. Rilee has a lot of experience in the T20 format. Across the different leagues he has played in different tournaments in the world, Rilee Russouw has played a pivotal role in the teams.

He has 312 T20 matches, almost 8000 runs, averages 30, and has a strike rate of 144. He has maintained this strike rate after playing many matches and scoring many runs. Punjab Kings has hit the jackpot by acquiring him in this amount. Rilee Russouw could have gone for a lot more.
