Sam Curran (Rs 7.2 crore - Kings XI Punjab)
The gutsy 20-year-old allrounder owes his claim to fame to his exploits that were central to England's home Test series win against India earlier this year. He took four wickets in India's first innings and then scored a half-century in the Edgbaston Test, which won England the Test and Curran the Man-of-the-Match award.
His base price at the auction on was Rs 2 crore but an intense bidding war saw him become the most expensive foreign player in this season.
