Dinesh Kartik – 12.50 crores (approx.)
Dinesh Karthik, former India wicket-keeper batsman, returned to the Delhi Daredevils side for the 2014 season after the side bid 12.50 crores for him in the 2014 auction. Karthik, a Tamil Nadu stalwart, started his IPL career with Delhi and was a part of the side for the initial three seasons before moving to Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians. The franchise, however, did not retain him in the following season despite a satisfactory outing, where he scored 325 runs with the help of three fifties.
Karthik is currently with Gujarat Lions.
