Rishabh Pant is in next and no surprises, he is likely to get massive bids. And deservedly so, as the bid closes on ₹27 Crore from the Lucknow Super Giants.
Mitchell Starc, who was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders and played a vital role in their title win, comes in next.
Next up is Jos Buttler, who has been with the Rajasthan Royals since 2018. However, he will head to the Gujarat Titans for IPL 2025, fetching INR 15.75 crore.
IPL 2024 winning captain Shreyas Iyer is currently going under the hammer and has gone beyond ₹15 crore. And now he has surpassed Mitchell Starc (₹24.75) to become the most expensive player in auction history. The Punjab Kings have finally pouched him for ₹26.75 crore.
