Indian T20 League 2023 Auction: Complete squad of all ten teams

Sam Curran was the top buy of the Indian T20 League 2023 auction, with the Punjab outfit bringing him back to his old team. The left-arm English all-rounder was snapped by the team for a record deal of 18.25 crore. As Mumbai had to fill the void by Keiron Pollard’s retirement, they went all out to sign the all-rounder in the form of Cameron Green. The Australian all-rounder was the second biggest buy of the day as he received a bid of 17.5 crores from Mumbai.

The Chennai team surprised all by going in for Ben Stokes. The World Cup-winning player was picked by the MS Dhoni-led team for a deal worth 16.25 crores. The big bids for Harry Brook and Nicholas Pooran also shook the fans. Brook rode the recency bias as he attracted a bid worth 13.25 crores from Hyderabad. What shocked all was a 16 crore bid for Nicholas Pooran by the Lucknow team after he failed to repay the faith shown by the Hyderabad team in the previous season.

Amongst the Indian players, former Punjab skipper, Mayank Agarwal received the highest bid from the Hyderabad team. Shivam Mavi and Mukhesh Kumar received bids worth 6 crores and 5.5 crores respectively. Gujarat and Punjab will boast Shivam Mavi and Mukhesh Kumar in the tournament respectively.
