This years IPL auction had only two players who were bid for more than $750000. But from the beginning itself the IPL had its own league of expensive players. The newest additions in this list are Kieron Pollard of West Indies and Shane Bond of New Zealand. Here's trying to find out the most expensive players of the 2010 India\n Premium League.

In the first edition of the IPL an icon status was given to 5 players namely Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh and Rahul Dravid. These players had the provision of being paid 15 % more fee than whoever the highest paid player in their individual teams would be. The concept of icon has been removed from this year IPL but all these players still continue to be few of the most expensive players of IPL.

England's Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pieterson, India's Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Australia's Andrew Symonds are the most expensive players of the 2010 IPL. In the first edition M.S Dhoni was the highest paid player with a whooping $1, 55,000. Andrew Symonds on the other hand received $1350, 000. IN the second edition of the game Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pieterson were the most expensive players. Since this year's bid has been kept under wraps we assume that they still continue to be the most expensive players of this year's IPL.

Some other players who receive high fee for participating in the IPL include Sri Lankan player Sanath Jaysuria, India's Irfan Pathan, Australia's Brett Lee, South Africa's Jaques Kallis and India's Ishant Sharma. All these players are reportedly paid an amount anything between $900,000 and $1,000,000. The bidding process has led to players like Ishant Sharma fetching a higher price than internationally celebrated players like Jacques Kallis.

Few more of the costliest IPL players are India's Rudra Pratap Singh, Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, Robin Uthappa, West Indies' Chris Gayle and Kieron Pollard, and New Zealand's Shane Bond.
