5. Carlos Brathwaite (INR 5 crore) – Kolkata Knight Riders

The 30-year-old Caribbean all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite had the base value of INR 75 lakh but he was bought for INR 5 crore by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

Brathwaite became famous after playing the unbelievable innings in the 2016 ICC World T20 final. When West Indies needed 19 runs in the last over to win the game against England in the final of the tournament, Brathwaite hit four consecutive sixes in that over to Ben Stokes and secured West Indies’ second World T20 victory.

The present Windies T20I captain has played 64 matches in the international cricket. Making his IPL debut in 2016, Brathwaite has played 14 matches in the tournament history.
