'Unhealthy Trend, Using Loopholes': RCB Star's Clear Verdict On Foreign Players' 'Absurd Price' In IPL Mini Auction
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction threw up some crazy numbers as Australian duo Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins set new salary records. In the mini IPL auction, Starc went to Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 24.75 while Pat Cummins went to SunRisers Hyderabad for Rs 20.50 crore. Those two are the highest-ever salary purse for an individual player in IPL history. Never before in the IPL, has any player crossed Rs 20 crore mark. Royal Challengers Bangalore star Dinesh Karthik, who was retained by the side ahead of the IPL 2024 auction, pointed that foreign players and their agents cleverly use the mini auction to get paid some 'absurd, unheard of prices'.
