Glenn Maxwell Rs 6 crore:
At one point, KXIP was full of Australian names in the overseas section. The highly unorthodox hard-hitter Glenn Maxwell being one of them. Maxi, as he is known in the cricketing world, had a strong reputation of being a finisher for his teams and KXIP, who were on a lookout for change in fortunes, perhaps felt he would serve them well. So when the auction happened, the owners seemed to have already made up their mind on buying the Aussie star and eventually ended up snapping him at a cost of 6 crores.
