Record-breaking bids marked the 2024 IPL auction, which took place in Dubai. Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc both broke previous records for the most expensive purchases in auction history. When Cummins signed a massive INR 20.50 crore contract with Sunrisers Hyderabad, he became the first player to surpass the INR 20 crore threshold. Not long after, Starc became the most expensive player, fetching an incredible INR 24.75 crore from Kolkata Knight Riders. But it wasn't just well-known brands that benefited monetarily; uncapped players also took advantage of the chance to establish themselves.
