On the first day of IPL auction, two senior Australians were at the centre of it! First, Pat Cummins went for Rs 20.50 crore to SRH to become the first player ever to breach the Rs 20-crore mark. Then Mitchell Starc broke that record and was roped in by KKR for a whopping Rs 24.75 crore - the highest-ever price for an IPL player ever! Earlier in the day, Daryl Mitchell went for Rs 14 crore from CSK. Harshal Patel roped in by PBKS for Rs 11.75 crore.
Shivam Mavi's base price is 50 lakh. He is currently undergoing treatment for a stress fracture. Mavi, who was with GT last season, is the first target for LSG. RCB also requires domestic quicks, so they've come to Mavi's aid. They continue to bid, expecting Mavi to recover in time for IPL 2024. Raising paddles slowly but steadily at the LSG and RCB tables. LSG and RCB go back and forth. LSG has the highest bid of 6 crore. Finally sold to LSG for 6.4 crore.
