Reality check for Mitchell Starc at IPL 2025 auction! Pacer goes from Rs 24.75 to 11.75 crore

In IPL 2024, Starc topped the money charts, becoming one of the costliest buys in the auction. Now, in the 2025 mega auction, he is once again among the marquee names.

The Australian left-handed seamer was the highest money earner in IPL history during the 2024 auction, as Kolkata Knight Riders broke the bank to secure a star leader for their attack. It was a decision that paid off, as KKR went on to win the trophy that year. Having previously earned ₹24.75 crore, he is now all set to charm once again. This time, however, he is set to join Delhi Capitals, who came out on top after a heavy bidding war with Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Starc fetched a price of ₹11.75 crore.
