Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Travis Head are some of the big names who have kept INR 2 crores as their base price. Starc, who represented RCB in 2014 and 2015, returns to the Player Auction for the first time since 2018, while Head went unsold ahead of IPL 2023.

Meanwhile, Cummins had pulled out of IPL 2023 due to international commitments. Starc was bought by KKR in the IPL 2018 auction but didn’t participate due to an injury. Travis Head, meanwhile is expected to break the bank, given his performance in ICC World Cup and his ability to bowl off-spin and also keep wickets.

Daryl Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra, who were New Zealand's top performers in the World Cup, have also registered for the tournament with a base of Rs 1 crore and Rs 50 lakh, respectively.

South Africa pacer Gerald Coetzee, India's Shardul Thakur, Harshal Patel, and Umesh Yadav have all kept themselves in the INR 2 crore bracket.
