IPL

Sam Curran’s name at the IPL auction later in the year attracted a bidding war. In the end, he was sold for a colossal 7.2 crores INR to KXIP to become one of the biggest surprises at the auctions over the last twelve seasons. 

He endured a strictly average time in the IPL, with the lack of swing on Indian pitches making him cannon fodder at his pace which generally is the late 120s or early 130s. That said, he did have a game where he produced a hat-trick and has shown promise to be of use, except that it could be as a batting all-rounder.

Sam is a clean striker of the ball and in T20, it’s this attribute of his that will hold him in better stead while his bowling could be more of a bonus. CSK picked him at the 2020 IPL auctions and although he doesn’t seem like a sure starter at this point. Sam is definitely a handy addition to the squad. 

In domestic cricket, He represents Surrey, and has played in multiple Twenty20 leagues, including for Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League. On 23 December 2022, he was the subject of the highest bid in the history of Indian Premier League, when he was bought for £1.85 million  (Rs.18.5 Crores) by Kings XI Punjab.
