Most expensive player
Despite splashing out £881,190 on Pietersen it was in fact Dinesh Karthik that cost the side the most at a whopping £1,223,875 for the wicketkeeper-batsman.
Karthik was the second most expensive player of the 2014 IPL Auction behind the £1,370,740 that Royal Challengers Bangalore paid for Yuvraj Singh.
The 28-year-old has played in the IPL since it’s inauguration in 2008 (the first three seasons with Delhi) although has never been outstanding with the willow – with his highest score of 86 coming last year.
