How much money did each franchise spend at the IPL 2024 auction?

This year’s Indian Premier League auction was historic, as we witnessed two players bagging a deal over Rs. 20 crore. While Pat Cummins was sold to SunRisers Hyderabad for INR 20.50 crore, Mitchell Starc became the most expensive player in the tournament’s history after Kolkata Knight Riders purchased him for INR 24.75 crore.

Apart from the Australian pacers, many other Indian and overseas players prompted the franchises to empty their pockets and go all out. A cumulative amount of Rs. 230.45 crore was spent by the 10 teams this year. On that note, let’s have a look at the amount of money spent by each franchise at the auction this year.
