Australia’s star pacer Mitchell Starc will return to the IPL after an eight-year hiatus after he was signed by the Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 24.75 crore at the IPL 2024 auction in Dubai on Tuesday, reports Sports Star.
Starc also became the most expensive player in IPL history, edging past his Aussie skipper Pat Cummins, who was signed by SRH for Rs 20.5 crore earlier in the day.
The left-handed pacer will aim to use the tournament as preparation for the T20 World Cup in June. His base price was Rs 2 crore.
