From Starc to Cummins: Top 10 most expensive buys in IPL history

Mitchell Starc, an Australian left-arm pacer, became the most expensive buy in IPL history when the Kolkata Knight Riders spent Rs 24.75 crore to acquire his services. This broke the record set by Pat Cummins, who had fetched Rs 20.5 crore from Sunrisers Hyderabad. The IPL auction, held in Dubai for the first time in its history, witnessed a fierce bidding war for Cummins, who was known for his exceptional skills with both bat and ball.
