IPL 2008 – MS Dhoni (INR 6 crore approx)
Mahendra Singh Dhoni or MS Dhoni was the costliest player in the first ever IPL auction. Before the auction, then Indian limited-overs captain had the base price of US$ 400,000. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) put the strong bid for Dhoni and they won that bid for US$ 1.5 million, which was INR 6 crore approx.
It was one of the best successful bids in IPL history as Dhoni has led the CSK team to the successful journey for a long time. He was CSK’s second most run-scorer in that season by scoring 414 runs in 16 matches, while Dhoni-led CSK finished as the runners-up in that tournament. The three-time IPL winners CSK still can’t be imaginable without Dhoni.
