IPL inaugural Auction Top 5 Most Expensive Buys: Players like Travis Head, Gerald Coetzee, and Rachin Ravindra might be among the most expensive purchases in IPL history in the IPL 2024 auction in December.
Player | Team | Price |
---|---|---|
MS Dhoni | Chennai Super Kings | $ 1.5 million |
Andrew Symonds | Deccan Chargers | $ 1.35 million |
Sanath Jayasuriya | Mumbai Indians | $ 975 thousand |
Ishant Sharma | Kolkata Knight Riders | $ 950 thousand |
Irfan Pathan | Kings XI Punjab | $ 925 thousand |
On the other hand, the first IPL auction was a little different. Not even Shane Warne, Ricky Ponting, or Sachin Tendulkar made the list of the most expensive players, despite being part of the auction. When fans found out who the top five purchases from the first IPL auction cost, they were taken aback.
A year earlier, the Indian captain had guided his side to the 2007 T20 World Cup championship. His selection by the Chennai Super Kings was fortunate for him, since Dhoni has played for CSK in every season since.
The most priced foreign player in the first auction was the all-rounder. Symonds was acquired by the now-defunct Deccan Chargers, and his salary was just $115,000 less than Dhoni’s.
The daring first opener was traded to the Mumbai Indians, where he opened with Sachin Tendulkar. With the southpaw scoring over 500 runs in the first edition, MI was hoping for good things with the $975,000 pick.
The Kolkata Knight Riders selected the towering Indian seamer for an incredible $950,000. Ishant’s first season was not good; in 13 matches, he took only 8 wickets.
Pathan was one of the most in-demand athletes since he was a top-tier one-day all-around performer. The left-hander played well after being acquired for $925,000 by Kings XI Punjab (formerly known as Punjab Kings), taking 15 wickets in addition to making useful lower-order runs.
