IPL 2024 Most Expensive Players: Check out the list of players who got the highest prices at the 2024 Indian Premier League auction.
4. Harshal Patel
India speedster Harshal Patel became the costliest Indian player in the auction. Punjab Kings (PBKS) splurged a huge amount of INR 11.75 crore to sign him up for the 2024 season. Along with Punjab, LSG and the 2022 champions Gujarat Titans (GT) also bid for him.
Patel will add experience to the PBKS squad with his immense experience. In his 11-year IPL career, he has scalped 111 wickets in 91 games at an economy of 8.59. While playing for RCB in 2021, he claimed 32 wickets in 15 matches and became the joint-leading wicket-taker in the season, along with CSK’s Dwayne Bravo.
The 33-year-old will assist talented young pacers Sam Curran and Arshdeep Singh to reinforce Punjab’s pace attack. PBKS haven’t qualified for the playoffs after 2014 but in 2024, they will look to pose a stiff challenge for the other nine teams and lift the coveted trophy for the first time.
