12 Australian players and their IPL contracts

6. Mitchell Starc (RCB) – $1.03m:

Having been cleared to play in this year’s IPL, Starc must have had to prove his fitness regarding his ankle injury prior to the World T20. Starc was picked up by Royal Challengers Bangalore last year at an amount of $889,000. This price was a reward for his stellar performances in the World Cup. He didn’t disappoint his IPL team either as he picked up 20 wickets at 14.55 with an economy of 6.76. As a result, he has been retained for a lucrative amount this year.
