IPL 2023 Mini Auction: Sam Curran to Cameron Green, Highest paid and MOST EXPESNIVE players in IPL Auction history

Before the IPL 2023 mini auction, Chris Morris of South Africa was the costliest player bought at the auction but it all changed today in Kochi with Sam Curran going for a big amount. How much, know it next story. Morris had gone to RR for Rs 16.25 crore to raise many eyebrows.

England all-rounder Sam Curran has become the costliest player ever bought in IPL auction history. He went for Rs 18.50 crore to Punjab Kings. This was after an intense battle between them, CSK and MI. The bidding stopped by the time Curran had become the highest paid player ever in history of IPL. 

Cameron Green was the second most costly player in IPL mini auction 2023. He was sold to Mumbai Indians for Rs 17.50 crore. RCB too wanted Green, so did Delhi Capitals. But the war was won by MI and at one stage, it seems Green will upstage Curran to record the biggest paycheque in IPL history but it was not to be.

Former RCB captain and star batter Virat Kohli used to draw the biggest paycheque in IPL, at Rs 17 crore but he is not more in the race now. 

England Test captain and star all-rounder Ben Stokes is back in Indian Premier League and this time he will play for Chennai Super Kings. The swashbuckiling all-rounder will now play for MS Dhoni's CSK. What a sight it will be to see Dhoni and Stokes together in Yellow colour. 

Delhi Capitals has retained their captain Rishabh Pant for a sum of Rs 16 crore. He is a powerhitter in the middle order as well as captain material who also keeps. DC are thinking of doing what CSK did with Dhoni, grab him young and make a masterful captain out of him.

Indian and Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma was retained for a sum of Rs 16 crore. He has won Mumbai Indians the title five times and he absolutely deserves to the amount. In fact, Rohit deserves even more as he is the most successful IPL captain ever in the history of the league.

West Indian Nicholas Pooran has been bought by Lucknow Super Giants at the IPL 2023 Mini Auction for a sum of Rs 16 crore. He becomes the 5th joint-highest paid player in the history of the IPL auction. He is a power hitter and would straightaway get into the IPL team.
