Chandigarh, December 19

Mitchell Starc broke the record after bagging Rs 24.75 crore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction in Dubai on Tuesday.

Starc surpassed his Australian bowling partner Pat Cummins to become the most expensive buy in IPL history.

Not long after Cummins fetched an unprecedented pay packet of Rs 20.50 crore from Sunrisers Hyderabad, Starc raised the bar when Kolkata Knight Riders made a multi-million dollar bid for the Australian pacer.

This historic moment triggered a meme fest on social media.

Meanwhile, former Australia skipper Steve Smith went unsold in the IPL 2024 auction.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
