Yesterday, at the IPL 2025 auction, Rishabh Pant walked away as the most expensive player, surpassing Shreyas Iyer and Mitchell Starc.

Star Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc was sold for INR Crore during the IPL 2025 auction on Sunday, November 24 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Starc was sold for whopping INR 11.75 crore to Delhi Caputals (DC).

Taxation of Indian and foreign players in India, particularly in events such as the Indian Premier League, varies according to their residential status and the applicable Indian tax laws on income earned in India.

The IPL 2025s mega auction is set to take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on November 24th, 2024. Mitchell Starc, the Australian star left-arm fast bowler, despite having limited exposure in IPL, proved to be very crucial for his teams.

Big names like Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Jos Buttler, KL Rahul, Trent Boult, Mitchell Starc, Kagiso Rabada and several others will hope for the highest bids. But who do you want to see in your team? Who will attract the biggest bucks and which franchise will emerge as the most balanced after two days of auctions?

Senior Australian pacer Mitchell Starc became the most expensive player in IPL auction history last time around when Kolkata Knight Riders splurged INR 24.75 crore. However, the amount reduced considerably at the mega auction with Delhi Capitals getting the speedster for INR 11.

Lucknow Super Giants have paid a record sum for wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant in the IPL auction in Jeddah but Mitchell Starc's price has halved in a year.
