Rishabh Pant (LSG – 27 crore)
The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) team bought Rishabh Pant with the biggest bid in IPL history with Rs 27 crore. He was handed over the captaincy. In such a situation, the team management was expected to take the team to new heights with explosive batting and clever captaincy from Rishabh Pant.

Liam Livingstone (PBKS – 11.50 Crore)
Punjab Kings (PBKS) retained England all -rounder Liam Livingstone for a large amount of Rs 11.50 crore. The team expected the team batting and useful leg-spin. However, Livingstone’s performance faded with both bat and ball in the season. He was able to score only 87 runs in 7 matches. He was able to take only 2 wickets in bowling too. His all -round performance did not prove to be decisive for the team.
Venkatesh Iyer (KKR – 23.75 crore)
Venkatesh Iyer performed brilliantly for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2024. In such a situation, Venkatesh Iyer was retained by the team for Rs 23.75 crore.

Due to that, KKR’s batting order was seen.
Mohammed Shami (SRH – 10 Crore)

Due to poor form, he also had to sit out of the playing-XI in some matches.
