00:00 It can't get bigger than this. Pat Cummings, the captain of Australian cricket team, the team that beat India in the World Cup final in 2023 and bagged the coveted World Cup trophy for the sixth time, is now the costliest player in IPL 2024.
00:17 Pat Cummings has been bagged by Sunrisers Hyderabad for a whopping 20.5 crore rupees, which is something that breaks the record of Sam Curran by a huge, huge margin.
00:29 Pat Cummings also commands this kind of money because of two things. First, his dedicated track record of match-winning streaks.
00:39 And secondly, his persona, his presence in the team itself adds a lot of value.
00:45 Sunrisers Hyderabad has been showing streaks of performances but not good enough to have won any IPL series as of now.
00:55 But needless to say, the team which had the highest money, highest kitty as of now, which was the remaining burst with the team, Sunrisers Hyderabad has finally, finally bagged Pat Cummings.
01:10 As they say, saving the best for the last, they were going slow. Travis Head was also taken by Sunrisers Hyderabad.
01:18 But at the end, Pat Cummings, costing 20.5 crore rupees to SRH, the highest bid ever, is now the costliest player even in the IPL history.
01:31 Well, as the statistics would say that the winning trophy, the winning money that you get after your victory in the IPL, that is also not equivalent to 20 crore.
01:42 But needless to say, the kind of endorsement it would bring to the franchise, the kind of crowd it will attract is something that would be sure to be watched out for.
01:54 Daryl Mitchell went for 14 crore rupees to CSK. Harshal Patel roped in by PBKS for 11.75 crore rupees.
02:03 Shardul Thakur and Rachan Ravindra have been picked by CSK.
02:07 Both of them are very good with their batting skills, demonstrated their flair in the recently concluded World Cup match also.
02:14 But to begin with, 11.75 crore is not bad at all as far as Harshal Patel, Shardul Thakur and Rachan Ravindran are concerned.
02:23 Robbin Powell went to Rajasthan Royals for 7.40 crores.
02:28 Travis Head, SRH for 6.80 crore. Travis Head obviously, the man who single-handedly I would say, took the match away from India as far as the finals of the World Cup is concerned.
02:41 Harry Brooke to Delhi Capitals for 4 crore rupees. And these were the top buyers.
02:46 Steve Smith unfortunately went unsold. His role in the World Cup too was met with a lot of criticism also.
02:58 But his days as of now in IPL, although stays in the team but not being picked up this time around by any of the franchises.
03:08 The 10 franchises have over 262 crore rupees to spend on 77 players from a pool of 332 crore rupees.
03:16 So this is the bottom line as of now from the IPL bidding that Pat Cummins has become the highest, highest and the costliest player ever in the history of IPL.
03:28 Remember 2008 when IPL started, the kitty was small and the players were also being sold for over a crore rupees was a big target.
03:35 But here we are looking at 20 crore rupees. Well, the intensity of the match and the intensity of the bidding has been differently raised by top notches, by several notches as far as the bidding for 2024 IPL is concerned.
