England all-rounder Sam Curran became the most-expensive IPL Auction buy of all time. The southpaw was bought by Punjab Kings for INR 18.50 crore in the IPL 2023 auction.
The yearly extravaganza of the Indian Premier League (IPL) Auction 2023 concluded with franchises shattering some all-time records. England all-rounder Sam Curran hit the jackpot, fetching INR 18.50 crore from Punjab Kings. Curran's international teammate Ben Stokes also bagged a whopping deal from Chennai Super Kings, who splashed INR 16.25 crore for the all-rounder's services. Overseas all-rounders were expected to fetch big deals in the auction and that certainly happened. Even Australia's Cameron Green, who displayed his attacking ability on the last tour of India, became the second-most-expensive buy in IPL auction history, going to Mumbai Indians for INR 17.50 crore.
England batter Harry Brook was high on many franchises' wishlists ahead of the start of the auction. He triggered an intense bidding war between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad, and the race for his signature was won by Kavya Maran's franchise, with the player costing INR 13.25 crore.
