The IPL 2024 auction is taking place in Dubai. Each year, the auction brings on new records as franchises splash heavy cash for some top talents.
The IPL 2024 auction was also being predicted to bring such ground-breaking moments, and it has lived up to its billing. The IPL 2024 auction has shattered the previous records of spending on a single player.

Previously, Sam Curran was the most expensive player in IPL's history as he was signed by Punjab Kings for Rs. 18.5 crore in the IPL 2023 auction.
Australia's Pat Cummins has now become the 2nd most expensive player in IPL's history as he went for Rs. 20.50 crore in the IPL 2024 auction. Sunrisers Hyderabad roped in the Aussie after an intense bidding war with Royal Challengers Bangalore.
With this, Pat Cummins also becomes the first player in IPL history to breach the 20 crore mark.
It was a record in the making as Kolkata Knight Riders shattered the IPL histories again by signing Australia pacer Mitchell Starc for a record amount of Rs. 24.75 crore.
