#5 Patrick Cummins (Delhi Daredevils)
Cummins was sold for Rs 4.5 crores to the Delhi Daredevils last year. The Australian pacer had a pretty good season, picking up 15 wickets in 12 games at an economy rate of just over 8 runs per over. He came in handy with the bat as well, scoring 77 runs at an average of over 15.
Owing to his decent performances for DD and for his national side, Cummins was roped in by defending champions Mumbai Indians for Rs 5.4 crores, which saw a 90-lakh hike in his paycheque.
