IPL: Expenditure of each franchise at auctions in tournament history
Over the years, IPL franchises have spent big bucks at the auction in a bid to revamp their squads.
1. Royal Challengers Bangalore - INR 910.5 CR
Royal Challengers Bangalore have been one of the most popular franchises in the cash-rich league. RCB have shown glimpses of brilliance at the marquee tournament but are yet to write their names on the history books. The best years of Bangalore have been 2009, 2011 and 2016, where the franchises finished in runners-up positions.
RCB are at the top of the list of heavy money spenders at the tournament, having invested a mammoth INR 910.5 crore since the inception of the tournament. On many occasions, they have grabbed the limelight with their big signings. At the 2014 IPL auction, the Bangalore franchise paid an insane amount of INR 14 crore to sign Yuvraj Singh.
Again ahead of the 2017 season, RCB acquired the services of Tymal Mills for an eye-popping sum of INR 12 crore. Also, in the 2021 player auction, the Bangalore team moved heaven and earth to pick Kyle Jamesion and Glenn Maxwell, signing the duo for a combined amount of INR 29.25 crore.
