Australia’s World Cup-winning skipper Pat Cummins became the most expensive player in Indian Premier League history Tuesday when Sunrisers Hyderabad paid Rs205 million ($2.47 million) for his services, a live broadcast of the tournament’s player auction showed.
The fast bowler, who skipped this year’s IPL because of a packed calendar, surpassed the Rs185 million ($2.23 million) record set by England all-rounder Sam Curran last year.
