Andrew Flintoff (England), Kevin Pietersen (England), Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Andrew Symonds (Australia) are the millionaires in IPL 2010. In 2008, Dhoni fetched a price of US $1,550,000.00, while Symonds cost $1,350,000.00. In the 2009 auction, Flintoff and Pietersen became the most expensive IPL players, as they each fetched $1,550,000.00. Given that the silent bids for Kieron Pollard and Shane Bond in 2010 were unknown, Pietersen and Flintoff remain the most expensive IPL players.
As of now the Pune team owned by Sahara group is the most expensive team in IPL history. Valued at over Rupees 1700 crores it is the costliest IPL team. In second place is the Kochi team owned by Rendezvous sports valued at over Rupees 1500 crores.

Cricket doesn't have a transfer market like football. But in the recent IPL, Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pieterson both "sold" for around £1 million.
