The arrival

Kyle Abbott arrived through the auction: Kings XI Punjab paid ₹2.10 cr, against a base price of ₹30 lakh.

That first season brought 5 matches, 13 runs and 2 wickets at 10.95 an over.

At the auction

The price climbed with the reputation: ₹30 lakh in 2015, ₹2.10 cr by 2016. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Chennai Super Kings in 2015.
