IPL 2023 Auction Review: Sam Curran, Cameron Green, and Ben Stokes crack records in a breathtaking auction.
Foreign all-rounders, Indian pace bowlers, and uncapped all-rounders dominated the mini-auction in Kochi making a Rs 167 crore sale of 80 players on Friday, December 23.
For the record books, 24 year old English sensation Sam Curran broke the record for the most expensive buy in the history of the IPL auctions. He was bought by Punjab Kings for a whopping amount of Rs 18.50 crore, breaking South African cricketer Chris Morris’s total of Rs 16.25 crore from the auction of the 2021 season.
However, the record of Sam Curran was looking like it will not last long as the bidding war started for 23 year old Aussie all-rounder Cameron Green. Minutes later, Mumbai Indians secured Cameron Green for a magnificent sum of Rs 17.50 crore, the second-most expensive buy in the history of the IPL auction - which was just Rs 18.25 crore less than Curran.
The show was still on air when the England test captain Ben Stokes was introduced to the franchise teams in the auction. He was bought for big money - 16.25 crores by the Chennai Super Kings.
West Indian cricketer Nicholas Pooran was the 4th most pricey player at the IPL 2023 auction. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) guarded off the bidding war from Delhi Capitals (DC) to buy the former West Indies captain for Rs 16 crore. Pooran, who was dismissed by Sun Risers Hyderabad after an unfortunate run in the previous IPL found his way back in this new season. The big hitter scored 306 runs in 14 matches but failed in crunch situations last season.
Except for Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians, and Punjab Kings, all other franchise teams in the 10-team league met their quota of 25 players. Kolkata and Punjab will head into IPL 2023 with solely 22-member teams while Mumbai will hold 24 players. Unlike Mumbai Indians, Kolkata and Punjab had sufficient funds to complete their teams for the new season, which is designated to be held in both home and away formats.
While the big money expenditures, many stars like South Africa's Rassie van der Dussen, Sri Lanka's Dasun Shanaka, England's Chris Jordan, and Dawid Malan were some of the big foreign players, who went unsold. On the other side, there are going to be a few thrilling first-timers in the IPL 2023 as the preferences of former England captain Joe Root and Ireland pacer Josh Little, England’s youngster big-hitter Harry Brook and Bangladesh wicketkeeper Litton Das apart from Green.
