The mini-auction of the seventeenth season of the IPL took place today in Dubai. There is fierce competition between the ten teams desperate to win the trophy to bridge the gaps in the squad. A flood of money has been seen since the start of the auction. Initially, there was a long battle for Rovman Powell between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals.
Finally, Rovman went to Rajasthan for 7 crores. There was also a tug-of-war with Kiwi all-rounder Darryl Mitchell. Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings have seen him join the team for 14 crores. Travis Head went to Hyderabad for 6.8 million. Australian captain Pat Cummins bowled the first round of the auction. Sunrisers signed him after beating Bengaluru in a tight race.
18.50 crore was set by Sam Karan in the last auction. For Cummins, that record was broken immediately. Cummins became the first cricketer to top the 20-crore mark. Sunrisers took him to the team for 20.75 crores. However, the crown of the most expensive cricketer in the history of IPL did not last long on Cummins’ head. He was followed by his national teammate Mitchell Starc. After 2015, Starc expressed his desire to play IPL again in 2024.
The base price was Rs 2 crore. Initially, Delhi and Mumbai showed interest in taking him. Up to 9 crore 60 lakhs, they have duels. After that, Calcutta entered the event. 2022 champions Gujarat did not lag. They also joined the war.
