IPL 2023 Most Expensive Player: Sam Curran surpassed Chris Morris record
Chris Morris, who RR purchased for 16.25 crore at the IPL 2020 Auction, was surpassed by Curran. It wasn’t the only record either, as Set 2 collapsed the auction in just 15 minutes.
Cameron Green from Australia joined Mumbai Indians (MI) for $17.5 crore, and Ben Stokes, another star of the T20 World Cup from England, moved to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for $16.25 crore.
A bidding war was anticipated for Curran because of its base price of 2 crore. When the bid exceeded 5 crore, MI and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) started to compete fiercely, and when only MI and RR remained, the bid exceeded 10 crore.
When CSK and PBKS were left to compete, it appeared that the latter had won with a bid of 15 crore. Nevertheless, CSK countered with a bid of 15.25 crore, and PBKS increased it to 15.50 crore. Lucknow Supergiants (LSG) jump in at that precise moment and offer Rs. 15.75 crore. With 16.50 crore, PBKS resumed the fight, and MI added 16.75 crore. PBKS ultimately prevailed, buying the all-around player for 18.50 crore.
Stokes became the most costly player in CSK’s history during the current auction. Green became the most expensive Australian in the IPL auction and the second-most expensive player in IPL history in addition to being the most expensive player in MI history.
