Mitchell Starc was the very best paid participant in IPL historical past until the IPL 2025 Mega Public sale.
The recently completed IPL 2025 auction witnessed some monumental bids, with players like Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer setting new benchmarks for the league. Rishabh Pant, with his explosive batting and leadership skills, became the most expensive player in IPL history when Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) bought him for Rs 27 crore. This massive sum has broken all previous records, making Pant the face of the IPL 2025 season. On that note, let us check out the top 3 highest paid players in IPL history.

Apart from Rishabh Pant, another key player to make waves at the IPL 2025 auction was Shreyas Iyer. Initially starting with a base price of Rs 2 crore, Iyer quickly became one of the highest-paid players in IPL history after a fierce bidding war between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC).
Apart from these two, former KKR pacer Mitchell Starc was paid a hefty sum of Rs 24.75 crore in IPL 2024 Auction. KKR spending the huge sum on Starc proved to be very fruitful for the Men in Purple and Gold. The left-arm pacer brought out his best in the playoffs stages and gave a match-winning performance with the ball against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
