Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) was founded in 2022 and has participated in only four auctions. This is why there is such a big difference between the money they have spent and what most of the other teams have. LSG has spent a total of ₹126.5 Crore in the auction till now, with their top three spends being KL Rahul (₹17 Crore), Nicholas Pooran (₹16 Crore), and Avesh Khan (₹10 Crore).

Gujarat Titans (GT) is the second team, which was founded as recently as 2022. Like Lucknow Super Giants, they were a part of the IPL expansion, which saw the number of teams increase from eight to 10. This is why they spend less money than some other IPL teams. Gujarat Titans have spent a total of ₹139.55 Crore in the auctions since 2022, with their top picks being Hardik Pandya (₹15 Crore), Rashid Khan (₹15 Crore), and Lockie Ferguson (₹10 Crore).

Rajasthan Royals were one of the two teams banned from participating in the Indian Premier League for a period of two years (2016 and 2017). While they have participated in all the other eight years, not being able to participate in two auctions is why they are one of the teams with the lowest spending in the last ten years. Their top buys in the last ten years have been Chris Morris (₹16.25 Crore), Sanju Samson (₹14 Crore), and Ben Stokes (₹12.5 Crore).

7. Chennai Super Kings (₹257.65 Crore)

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are the second team, and like Rajasthan Royals, they were banned from participating in the Indian Premier League in 2016 and 2017. Despite having participated in two lesser auctions when compared to Mumbai Indians, they have spent nearly as much as them. CSK have spent a total of ₹257.65 Crores in the last 10 years, with their top picks being Ravindra Jadeja (₹16 Crore), Ben Stokes (16.25 Crore), and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (₹15 Crore).

Their top picks in the last 10 years include Sam Curran (₹18.5 Crore), Jhye Richardson (₹14 Crore), Mayank Agarwal (₹12 Crore).
