IPL 2024 Format
This season, all 10 teams will face each other twice, marking the return of the round-robin format.
Following the league games, the top two teams will compete in the first qualifier, while the third- and fourth-placed teams will contend in the eliminator.
The victor of the first qualifier secures a spot in the final, while the defeated team will confront the winner of the eliminator in the second qualifier. The winner of this match will then become the second finalist.

Most Expensive Player of IPL 2024
Mitchell Starc of Australia emerged as the priciest signing in IPL history during the 2024 auction held in December, surpassing his teammate Pat Cummins. Starc, absent from the IPL for the past eight years, was snapped up by the Kolkata Knight Riders for a gigantic $2.98 million, eclipsing the sum paid by the Sunrisers Hyderabad for Cummins, who fetched $2.46 million.
Before this auction, the record for the highest signing amount was held by England bowler Sam Curran, who joined the Punjab Kings for $2.23 million last year.
In terms of the prize money, it varies depending on factors like team performance, individual player bonuses, and sponsorship deals. Typically, the prize money is awarded after the tournament based on the final standings.
