and then that mitchell starc bid came in. england's sam curran when hejoined the punjab kings for £1.85 million. he'll play for them again next year. and he'll bejoined by one of his england teammates, chris woakes, who cost the punjab kings £400,000. and harry brook, who had a poor ipl with sunrisers in this year's edition, has seen his value plummet by almost a million. delhi capitals picking him up for a snip £380,000. here is test match specials henry moeran on those figures for starc and cummins. extraordinary figures. and we've come to expect this from the indian premier league. starc and cummins will actually be earning more in that window of ipl cricket than they do from their central contracts with australia. and we did sort of expect that there could be some big figures for those fast bowlers because, well, a couple of reasons. one, it is a month to the day since australia lifted the world cup in ahmedabad, so they've been very much in the focus of indian cricket, those two highly successful fast bowlers, and also t

mitchell starc going from nearly $3 million, pat cummins going for $2.5 million. kind of money that was spent. nearly $27 million at auction was spent yesterday over 70 players. there are several reasons for this. most importantly, a lot of marketability around the ipl. just the kind of names. we have a bollywood star owning a team and others. those aspects increase the way in which people view the ipl. and i'm going to get you some figures injust a bit. in 2008, eight teams were purchased for $700 million. $740 million one team last year. in 2021 broadcasting rights were negotiated for the next season, 23—27 and just that may be the ipl richer by nearly $6 billion. that is double the amount spent on the previous season so that is just to give you the sense of our this industry has grown. fascinating stuff. let's now turn to the united states, and a battle we are seeing in a number of industries between companies and unions demanding better pay for their workers. first it was hollywood, then the car industry, and now it's airlines. southwest has become latest carr

mitchell starc sparked an intense bidding war.ht riders went head—to—head, and eight years after his last appearance in the ipl, kolkata got their man for a record £2.3 million. that came just a few hours after sunrisers hyderabad paid £1.9 million for the australia captain pat cummins — that was a record fee for a brief time. the previous record was held by england's sam curran when hejoined the punjab kings for £1.85 million. he'll play for them again next year, and he'll bejoined by one of his england team—mates, chris woakes. he cost the punjab kings £400,000. and harry brook, who had a poor ipl with sunrisers in this year's edition, has seen his value plummet by almost a million — delhi capitals picking him up for a snip £380,000. here is test match special�*s henry moeran on those figures for starc and cummins. extraordinary figures. and we've come to expect this from the indian premier league. starc and cummins will actually be earning more in that window of ipl cricket than they do from their central contracts with austral

there was a four way bidding war for mitchell starc, and he would have thought goodness me, what cann imagine those dollar signs in his eyes as the austin was —— auction was taking place. you always keep an eye on the tournaments. harry brook didn't do very well this year. he'll have a point to prove next year. year. he'll have a point to prove next year-— next year. his extraordinary fee last ear next year. his extraordinary fee last year has — next year. his extraordinary fee last year has plummeted - next year. his extraordinary fee last year has plummeted away i next year. his extraordinary fee i last year has plummeted away this year as he's made the move, and his tournament last year was brilliant. otherwise, he averaged 14. he didn't look like the player that i think many expected to see. he didn't have the best of world cup, but he was a player with phenomenal talent. if you can get it right in the indian premier league, he could easily earn the figures we've been speaking about as the ipl continues to develop. sam curran has a bit of a point to prove, but certainly, the ipl
