10 Most expensive players in IPL auction history

6. Chris Morris - 16.25 Crores (2021)

The tall fast bowling all-rounder from South Africa was IPL’s favourite guy in terms of earning money. After spending a lot of time in Delhi Capitals, Chris Morris was picked up by RCB in the year 2020 for a sum of 10 Crores. In the subsequent year, he was picked up by Rajasthan Royals for a huge sum of 16.25 Crores.

This amount made him the most expensive overseas player in the history of IPL. His multidimensional ability to be excellent with both the bat and the ball made him a prodigy. He was always on the radar of the franchises because of his ability to bat and bowl anywhere in the game.

He had the ability to bowl at the death and hit some lusty blows at the end with the bat. His stats speak volumes about his abilities. With an impressive economy of 8.00 and a staggering batting strike rate of 155.27 made him an excellent commodity to have. Therefore, his price tag kept increasing despite his age because of the dearth of fast bowling all-rounders.
