The 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) Auction made headlines for the astronomical, record-breaking sums. Mitchell Starc became the most expensive player in IPL history (24.75cr) less than two hours after Australian teammate Pat Cummins (20.5cr) broke the previous record held by Sam Curran.
However, the auction was also home to some excellent value-for-money picks. These players were expected to go for bigger amounts, but the franchise who won their services wouldn’t be complaining. Not only do they have an excellent player in their ranks, but they have it at a relatively cheap price.
