Top 10 Expensive Players in IPL 2024 10: Rovman Powell - Rs 7.4 crore: The West Indian batter was got in for Rs 7.4 crore by the Rajasthan Royals (RR), who were looking to add firepower to their middle order. Powell's weaknesses against spin bowling have glaringly come through in recent seasons, but he still remains a fine hitter against pacers, which is a trait that the Royals can capitalise on if they put him to use in specific phases of the innings. 9: Shahrukh Khan - Rs 7.4 crore: The Tamil Nadu batter was released but he found new takers in the Gujarat Titans, who were looking for new additions in the middle-order after the departure of Hardik Pandya. Shahrukh has not done justice to the hype around him in the IPL thus far, but he certainly has the caliber to silence the critics. The Titans have brought the best out of many untapped potentials in the last couple of years, and Shahrukh could prove out to be one of them in the coming campaign. 8: Rilee Rossouw - Rs 8 crore: The South African southpaw was interestingly unsold the first time his name went under the hammer. However, Punjab Kings went all guns blazing, paying Rs 8 crore for the big hitter as the auction dynamics panned out in a way that they required to strengthen their batting unit. In 24 T20Is, Rossouw has smashed 624 runs at an average of 36.78 and strike rate of 156.02. 7: Sameer Rizvi - Rs 8.4 crore: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) broke the bank by paying Rs 8.5 crore for Uttar Pradesh (UP) batter Sameer Rizvi, 20, in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction in Dubai on Tuesday. CSK, Gujarat Titans (GT), and Delhi Capitals (DC) were engaged in an intense tussle to secure the services of the young power hitter. Rizvi is likely to make his debut in the lucrative franchise T20 league in the coming season, on the back of a power-packed performance for the Kanpur Superstars in the UP T20 League recently. 6: Spencer Johnson - Rs 10 crore: GT paid a hefty amount to get Australian fast bowler Spencer Johnson, who is a left-arm pacer, having played 20 T20 games and taken 17 wickets at an economy of 7.84 in his short career so far. The bowler could be a good option to use early on in the innings, extracting movement off the surface and then could be equally handy with the older ball, using his variations to good effect. Johnson is still an unproven commodity in the IPL and whether he is worth the price given for him remains to be seen. 5: Alzarri Joseph - Rs 11.5 crore: The Caribbean pacer was acquired by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to bolster their bowling after releasing Josh Hazlewood. Joseph previously represented Gujarat Titans (GT) and has taken 20 wickets in 19 games in the league at an economy rate of 9.19. 4: Harshal Patel - Rs 11.75 crore: The medium pacer was released by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), but the Punjab Kings (PBKS) laid trust on him by paying Rs 11.75 crore for the Haryana player. Harshal Patel was the purple cap holder in IPL 2021 and possesses a wide set of variations that could be handy in the broad boundaries of Mohali. 3: Daryl Mitchell - Rs 14 crore: The Kiwi batter had donned the role of the quintessential No. 4 in the recently concluded World Cup, scoring 552 runs at an average of 69 and scoring centuries in both the faceoffs against India. His impeccable outings in the middle order certainly caught the attention of the CSK management, who shelled out big bucks to bag the promising right-hander. 2: Pat Cummins - Rs 20.50 crore: The Australian skipper commanded a massive sum as the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) roped in the World Cup-winning captain for the aforementioned sum, making him the second-most expensive player in IPL history. Cummins had rested from the IPL last season to focus on his international cricket commitments, and that move paid off with the pacer leading Australia to the World Test Championship (WTC) and ODI World Cup titles. 1: Mitchell Starc - Rs 24.75 crore: The Australian speedster was roped in by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for an astronomical sum of Rs 24.75 crore, on the back of his heroics in the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023. Starc last played in the Indian Premier League (IPL) back in 2016 but has taken 34 wickets from 27 games in his brief career in the franchise T20 league.
