But Punjab Kings splashed a whopping 18.50 crore to land Sam Curran.

Intense bidding began with Mumbai Indians (MI) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), followed by Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

As the sum rose above 13 crores, PBKS came in and outbid MI’s second last bid of 18.25 crores. Let’s take a look at the three most expensive buys in IPL history, starting with Curran.

3. Chris Morris (to RR) and Ben Stokes (to CSK) – ₹16.25 crore

Chris Morris became the most expensive player in the 2021 IPL mini-auction when Rajasthan Royals (RR) bought him for ₹16.25 crore.

An intense bidding war saw his value soar from a base price of $75 lacs to a whopping 16.25 crore.

Later today, CSK matched the 16.25 crore price tag for England’s Test skipper Ben Stokes in the IPL 2023 mini-auction.

In the upcoming IPL season, Stokes will be coached by MS Dhoni, who is the joint-third-most expensive buy.

2. Cameron Green to MI – ₹17.50 crore

During the IPL auctions on Friday, Australian all-rounder Cameron Green became the 2nd most expensive player ever with a sale for $17.5 crore to the Mumbai Indians.

As one of the hottest properties in world cricket, the 23-year-old has been in phenomenal form for Australia recently across all formats.

Keiron Pollard, who retired ahead of the IPL 2023 season, will probably be replaced by Green, who had a successful T20I series against India in September.

1. Sam Curran to PBKS – ₹18.50 crore

In the Indian Premier League, Sam Curran became the most expensive player ever.

PBKS (Punjab Kings) have acquired Curran from the T20 World Cup champions, Punjab Kings (PBKS) for an astonishing amount of ₹18.50 crore.

Based on his impressive recent performances for England, Curran was expected to spark a bidding war.

After making his IPL debut in 2019, the left-arm pacer has played 32 games. To go with his 337 runs, he picked up as many wickets.
