IPL 2024 Auction
What happened at the 2024 IPL auction?
The 2024 IPL auction was as exciting as ever. In total, 72 players were sold, with 30 overseas players joining the competition. Australian bowler Mitchell Starc picked up the biggest fee. Kolkata Knight Riders splashed out £2.3 million for the paceman's services. This beat the £1.9 million spent on Aussie teammate Pat Cummins and the £1.18 million spent on Sam Curran in the 2023 auction.
England batter Phil Salt was initially unsold at the auction. However, he has come in to replace Jason Roy, who is amongst a host of England players to withdraw. These include the big-hitting Harry Brook. Aussie batter Steve Smith was also not picked up by any team

What is the highest score in IPL ever made?
We're used to big shots in IPL. The highest-ever score for a team in one innings is a stunning 263/5 from 20 over by Royal Challengers Bangalore. They achieved that when playing Pune Warriors India back in 2013. Lucknow Super Giants fell just short of breaking the record that same year, scoring 257/5 against Punjab Kings.
West Indian batter Chris Gayle holds the individual record. He blasted a ridiculous 175 not out from 66 deliveries in the above game when playing for RCB. Current England coach Brendon McCullum is next on the list. He put his "Bazball" philosophy into practice in 2008 when he hit 158 not out from 73 balls playing for Kolkata Knight Riders.
