72 players, INR 230.45 crore got spent while two of the most expensive players in IPL auction history took place in the same edition within hours of each other at the Coca-Cola arena in Dubai on Tuesday, December 19. Mitchell Starc was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for INR 24.75 crore in the most expensive deal in IPL auction history. Starc will return to the IPL after eight long years and with the T20 World Cup to be played in June next year, it would serve as the ideal preparation for the tournament. Similarly, Pat Cummins too fetched a huge bid of INR 20.50 crore from the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The day began with Rovman Powell getting an INR 7.4 crore deal with the Rajasthan Royals before the likes of Travis Head, Rachin Ravindra, Wanindu Hasaranga, Azmatullah Omarzai, Gerald Coetzee, Alzarri Joseph and Lockie Ferguson all found a home. Phil Salt and Akeal Hosein were the big names who went unsold as Steve Smith and Karun Nair on the expected lines didn't find a buyer. The likes of Hasaranga and Omarzai were the steals of the day at base prices and Kumar Kushagra, Sameer Rizvi and Shubham Dubey earned high paychecks among uncapped players.
