Buying costliest player no guarantee of winning IPL

Every year, IPL franchises break the bank to bag the most sought-after players who they believe will make a difference to their fortunes. But teams who get the most expensive player of the auction might want to pause before uncorking the bubbly. With the sole exception of 2013, when Mumbai Indians got Glenn Maxwell for $1 million, the team that bought the most expensive player in an auction has never won the IPL title in the same year.
