CRICKET
Nicholas Pooran of the West Indies became the most expensive wicketkeeper ever, selling for eight times his starting price to LSG for INR 16 crore.
During the 2023 mini-auction, Punjab Kings broke the bank for English all-rounder Sam Curran, who became the most expensive player in Indian Premier League history. The Shikhar Dhawan-led team shelled out INR 18.5 crore for Curran, who had a basic reserve price of INR 2 crore.
Curran's selling price broke the Rajasthan Royals' previous record of INR 16.25 crore for South African all-rounder Chris Morris ahead of the 2021 season.
Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore entered the bidding war for the Player of the Match in the T20 World Cup final as his price swiftly hit Rs 7 crore, at which point RR entered the contest. RCB dropped out shortly after, as RR and MI resumed their bidding battle. Chennai Super Kings, PBKS, and Lucknow Super Giants also competed, but Punjab emerged victorious.
