Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins grabbed the spotlight massively, fetching over ₹40 crore from the SunRisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders, respectively, in the auction.

Australia's World Cup final hero Travis Head also had a massive payday as SRH shelled out ₹6.80 crore.
Among the Indian cricketers, Harshal Patel proved to be the most expensive recruit as Punjab Kings spent ₹11.75 crore on the seamer.
