The All-Star Expensive XI: IPL's Most Priced Players Ever

Fans everywhere are eagerly anticipating the upcoming season of the IPL, which promises to be another blockbuster, as always. The IPL 2024 Auction, in particular, stood out as truly insane. It witnessed the largest purchases ever made in IPL history, with not just one but two players fetching record-breaking amounts for a single season.

Kolkata Knight Riders set a new record by purchasing the services of Australian left-arm seamer Mitchell Starc for a staggering 24.75 Crores. Sunrisers Hyderabad also made a record-breaking buy by securing Pat Cummins for a salary of 20.50 Crore. To further heighten the excitement, OneCricket has assembled the most expensive IPL XI to date.

Presenting the formidable and highly-priced IPL XI:

1. Rohit Sharma - 16 Crore (MI)

Rohit Sharma, the former captain of the Mumbai Indians, ranks among the highest-paid players in the tournament. His exceptional batting skills, coupled with leading MI to five IPL trophies, justify every penny spent on him. Earning a salary of 16 CR, he secures the position of the first opener in our IPL's most expensive XI.

2. Virat Kohli - 15 Crore (RCB)

Virat Kohli, the run machine of India and Royal Challengers Bangalore, also ranks among the highest-paid players in this position. With a salary of 15 cr, he takes on the role of our second opener, delivering a powerful start alongside Rohit Sharma. Additionally, he holds the title of the all-time-highest run-scorer of the IPL, accumulating 7263 runs.

3. KL Rahul - 17 Crore (LSG)

With a staggering salary of 17 cr, KL Rahul, the captain of the Lucknow Super Giants, takes on the role of our number three batter. Having amassed over 4,100 runs in just 118 IPL games, Rahul's performance speaks for itself. His exceptional ability to score in the middle overs solidifies his position as the highest-paid batter for this role.

4. Cameron Green - 17.5 Crore (RCB)

Mumbai Indians secured the Australian all-rounder for a whopping sum of 17.5 cr before the last season. Cameron Green's contributions, including a century and a couple of fifties, were pivotal in propelling MI to the playoffs. Now, in an all-cash deal, he has been traded to RCB, where he will represent the Bangalore team in the upcoming season, occupying the number four position in our most expensive XI.

5. Glenn Maxwell - 14.50 Crore (RCB)

Another Australian all-rounder, Glenn Maxwell, with a salary of 14.50 CR, occupies the fifth spot in our most expensive IPL XI. Since joining the Royal Challengers Bangalore setup, he has proven to be an invaluable asset. With his formidable hitting abilities and additional bowling prowess, he assumes the role of our extra bowler and is positioned at number five.

6. Rishabh Pant - 16 Crore (DC)

The whole world anticipates the comeback of Rishabh Pant after his recovery from a horrifying car accident. Now, he will lead the Delhi Capitals. Fans eagerly await his one-handed sixes. Pant will serve as the wicket-keeper batter of our most expensive IPL XI, commanding a humongous salary of 16 CR from the Delhi Capitals' purse.

7. Ishan Kishan - 15.25 Crore (MI)

Ishan Kishan, another highly-paid Indian batter, represents Mumbai Indians. Surprisingly, he earns even more than their new captain, Hardik Pandya. MI acquired the left-handed batter in the Mega Auctions for IPL 2022, boosting his price to 15.25 CR. He joins our most expensive IPL eleven as another keeper-batter.

8. Ravindra Jadeja - 16 Crore (CSK)

To complete the lineup, we introduce Ravindra Jadeja, the all-rounder who struck the winning runs in the IPL 2023 final.

Jadeja has been instrumental in CSK's successes and occupies the number eight position in our lineup.
