NEW DELHI: Punjab Kings started the IPL 2023 mini-auction with a bang in Kochi on Friday by breaking the record books for England all-rounder Sam Curran. Punjab splurged a record Rs 18.5 crore for the all-rounder's services.
The amount made Curran the most expensive IPL auction buy ever, surpassing Rs 16.25 crore which Chris Morris got in 2021. But they went almost silent after breaking the bank with Curran.
