Australia bowler Mitchell Starc became the most expensive signing in Indian Premier League history when he was bought for £2.3m by Kolkata Knight Riders.
The bid for Starc broke the record set earlier in Tuesday’s auction when Pat Cummins was sold for £1.9m.
That fee beat the £1.85m paid for England’s Sam Curran in 2022.
Elsewhere, England bowler Chris Woakes was sold to Punjab Kings and team-mate Harry Brook went to Delhi Capitals.
Woakes cost £400,000 and Brook £380,000 – a drop from the £1.35m fee paid for him last year.
