Aussies sparkle with mega deals at IPL auction
Mint Mumbai|December 20, 2023
Cricket world champs Australia had much to crow about on Tuesday, as their star fast bowlers Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins racked up record bids to enter new franchises at the 17th auction of the Indian Premier League (IPL) being held in Dubai's Coca-Cola Arena.

Cummins, also Australia's cricket captain, was sold first to Sunrisers Hyderabad for a record-breaking ₹20.5 crore. But soon enough, he was pipped to the peak by mate Starc, who went to Kolkata Knight Riders for ₹24.75 crore after a mighty bidding war with Gujarat Titans. Both bids comfortably beat the earlier record held by Sam Curran, who was picked up by Punjab Kings for 18.5 crore in 2022.

At the auction, 333 cricketers went under the hammer (including 214 Indians), to fill a maximum of 77 slots. Gujarat Titans had the highest player purse with 38.15 crore; Lucknow Super Giants had the lowest at 13.15 crore. The highest reserve price (minimum bid allowed for a capped player) was 12 crore.
