Pat Cummins achieved this feat.
Starc became the most expensive player in IPL auction history. He broke Pat Cummins' record. Cummins had achieved this feat just a few hours ago, but his fellow bowler left him behind. Cummins became the most expensive player, leaving behind England all-rounder Sam Curran. Sam Curran was bought by Punjab Kings in the 2023 auction for Rs 18.50 crore.
