IPL 2024

IPL Auction is underway. After Pat Cummins has set a record price for the IPL of A$3.67 million, there is some relatively massive bidding currently underway for Daryl Mitchell - back of an envelope maths from me makes it well north of NZ$2 million at the moment...
Rachin Ravindra became a Chennai Super King earlier for circa NZ$350k.

Yep, that will be NZ$2.7 million. Just reading in the Sydney Morning Herald blog in A$
Kiwi all-rounder earns $2.5m
We’re running through the all-rounders now. No more Aussies for the time being but there have been a few big deals elsewhere.New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell joins the Chennai Super Kings for $2.5 million, Indian all-rounder Harshal Patel goes to the Punjab Kings for $2.1 million, South Africa’s Gerald Coetzee joins the Mumbai Indians for $893,000, Indian quick Shardul Thakur is snapped up by the Chennai Super Kings for $715,000 and Afghanistan’s World Cup breakout star Azmatullah Omarzai joins the Gujarat Titans for (a bargain) $89,000.

Mitchell's reserve wasn't much higher than Ravindra's. Ravindra had a few bids, but seemed to only be between a couple of teams. Mitchell just kept going and going. At 32 that's a great payday for Mitch, I guess Ravindra has plenty of time to prove his worth.
Cummins and Starc between them could probably buy a few sporting teams now.
Always interesting to see what the teams are thinking. Ravindra might have gone relatively cheap, yet Steve Smith got no bids at all.
