Punjab Kings Full Squad: Complete List Of PBKS Players After IPL Auction 2023

Sam Curran (Rs 18.5 crore) went for big money and Punjab Kings management was quite happy about it

The majority of the records set by the Punjab Kings have occurred off the field, and breaking the bank to get Sam Curran-the most expensive player ever to be purchased in an IPL auction—is one of them. Curran (Rs 18.5 crore) sold for a high price, and PBKS management was pleased. Given his achievements during the T20 World Cup, where he was a standout performance throughout the competition, Curran was always likely to ask for a bid in the $2 million range. However, as one of the owners, Ness Wadia, noted after winning the bidding war, the bid is frequently depending on auction dynamics.

The majority of Curran's games will now be played at Mohali, where the flat deck and evening dew can be problematic. His bowling was perfect for the conditions in Chennai and Delhi, where some balls stay up and some skid through.

A few seasons ago, when he was in Mohali, the overall outcomes weren't exactly promising. But that was Curran, who was just out of his teens; in contrast, this man has experience. For the Punjab Kings, I really hope he can turn the tide, but it doesn't seem likely right now.
