Records were shattered at the auction of players for the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) when South African cricketer Chris Morris became the most expensive player in the history of the IPL, picked up for a whopping INR 16.25 crore by Rajasthan Royals.
Morris played for Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings franchises in the IPL.
