The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 mega auction in Jeddah was a blockbuster event that involved excitement, bidding wars, some surprises, and some notable absentees.  With 577 players under the hammer and 182 players ultimately securing contracts, the auction was a financial rollercoaster. The total investment of INR 639.15 crore shows how the franchises went after the best of talents.

Rishabh Pant made headlines with a record-breaking INR 27 crore deal with Lucknow Super Giants. Gujarat Titans made strong picks, acquiring players like Jos Buttler and Mohammad Siraj. Punjab Kings, with the largest purse of INR 110.50 crore, showed their intent to rebuild fully. They acquired 23 players and used 56% of their purse on three marquee players.

Meanwhile, 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi from Bihar became the youngest player ever sold, picked by Rajasthan Royals for INR 1.1 crore. Furthermore, KL Rahul found a new home, moving to Delhi Capitals for INR 14 crore. On the other hand, some players experienced dramatic price fluctuations. Jitesh Sharma saw an extraordinary jump from INR 20 lakh to INR 11 crore, while Sam Curran’s value dropped significantly from previous auctions.
