Here's a look at the top-10 most expensive players at the IPL 2024 auction held in Dubai on Tuesday.

IPL 2024 mini auction didn’t disappoint. In fact, it left even the likes of Sourav Ganguly surprised when Australian Mitchell Starc became the costliest purchase in the history of IPL auctions.

Sam Curran’s rein as the most expensive player lasted one season when first world cup winning captain Pat Cummins overtook him when Sunrisers Hyderabad outbid Royal Challengers Bangalore to land the Aussie superstar.

The officials from the other eight franchises along with spectators gathered to witness the auction live from the venue watched in absolute astonishment as GT and KKR continued to raise the bar which finally ended at Rs 24.75 crore.
