New Delhi: During the recently-concluded 2023 mini-auction, English all-rounder Sam Curran became the most expensive player in Indian Premier League history for Punjab Kings. The team led by Shikhar Dhawan paid INR 18.5 crore for Curran, whose base reserve price was INR 2 crore, at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Kochi.
Curran sold for more money than Rajasthan Royals did when they bid INR 16.25 crore for Chris Morris in advance of the 2021 season. When Curran’s price quickly reached Rs 7 crore, MI and Royal Challengers Bangalore joined the bidding. RR followed suit. Shortly thereafter, RCB pulled out, and RR and MI continued their fierce bidding war. Shortly thereafter, the CSKs, PBKS, and Lucknow Super Giants entered the fray, but Punjab ultimately sealed the deal.
Here are the updated squads of all 10 teams:
Chennai Super Kings

Ajay Mandal, Kyle Jamieson, Nishant Sindhu, Shaik Rasheed, Ben Stokes, Ajinkya Rahane, MS Dhoni (c), Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ambati Rayudu, Subhranshu Senapati, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Dwaine Pretorius, Mitchell Santner , Ravindra Jadeja, Tushar Deshpande, Mukesh Chowdhary, Matheesha Pathirana, Simarjeet Singh, Deepak Chahar, Prashant Solanki, Maheesh Theekshana.
