Meanwhile, let's have a look at three players who might fetch a big amount in IPL 2024 Auction and break Starc's record to become the highest-paid player in IPL auction history.

Rohit Sharma

Five-time IPL champion Rohit Sharma, currently valued at Rs. 16 crore with Mumbai Indians (MI), could attract a huge sum if released before IPL 2025 auction. Reports indicate that franchises interested in securing his leadership are prepared to bid up to Rs. 50 crore. Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals are rumored to be among the teams keen on making Rohit their captain, should MI choose not to retain him for the next season.

Rishabh Pant

Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant could attract a substantial increase in his value if he is part of IPL 2025 auction. Since his impressive return from a car accident, Pant has been in excellent form. He was valued at Rs. 16 crore with Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024. However, following Delhi Capitals' disappointing performance in the 2024 season, there is speculation that Pant might be released. Should these rumors materialize, Pant is likely to be in high demand, particularly among franchises seeking a new captain.

Phil Salt

Phil Salt, who dazzled for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) with 435 runs at an astonishing strike rate of 182.01 after initially going unsold in the IPL 2024 auction, had a standout season. However, if IPL regulations mandate that teams retain only four players ahead of the IPL 2025 auction, KKR might have to part ways with him. Should this occur, Salt is likely to generate considerable interest from other franchises in the auction.
