Zaheer Khan – 6 Crores
Zaheer Khan was bought for 6 crores by Mumbai Indians in the 2011 bidding round. He was in outstanding form that year. Coming in fresh from leading India to an ICC Cricket World Cup win by ending up as the highest wicket-taker of the tournament, the left-arm fast bowler snapped 14 wickets in 15 matches with the best bowling figures of 3/32. That particular season might have been under par but overall he has been a highly effective bowler, who led the bowling attack of the franchise with a lot of success. His IPL career, wholly, has been very successful. In 89 matches, he has 92 wickets.
