The TATA IPL 2023 auction has come to a close. All the anticipation for this event has now settled. It was a record-breaking auction as the record for the most money spent on a player was broken twice in less than half an hour during the TATA IPL 2023 Auction. The teams have spent a lot of money on players. KKR and RCB were the only teams that didn’t spend a hefty amount on one player, as they had only a few crores left after the transfer window. So, here is a look at the most expensive picks by every team in the TATA IPL 2023 Auction:
Most Expensive Picks by Each Team at TATA IPL 2023 Auction:
Team Name | Player Bought | Price |
Mumbai Indians | Cameron Green | 17.5 Crores |
Punjab Kings | Sam Curran | 18.25 Crores |
Chennai Super Kings | Ben Stokes | 16.25 Crores |
Sunrisers Hyderabad | Harry Brook | 13.25 Crores |
Lucknow Super Giants | Nicholas Pooran | 16 Crores |

TATA IPL 2023 Auction Review, Cameron Green and Nicholas Pooran Over-Priced:
If we are to talk about facts and not just the promises of players, Cameron Green and Nicholas Pooran have been extremely volatile commodities. If Green and his performances turn up then it will be all fun and games for the Mumbai Indians but if that is not the case, the men in blue will have a tough time. The same goes for the LSG squad. They bought Nicholas Pooran for 16 crores. It is a huge amount to spare for someone who is not very consistent with the performances.
Sam Curran Breaks Record for Highest Bid in IPL History:
18.25 Crores is the new record in the history of the IPL. Apart from the fact that senior Indian players are never in the auction, there is a minimal chance that this record will be broken in the near future. The franchisees get an additional purse of 5 crores every year. For example, if last year the purse was 90 crores, this time it will be 95 crores. So, for the record to break, it will take a while. But Sam also is pretty over-priced for his services. He is an exceptional death bowler but if the trick doesn’t come out well, the PBKS management is in trouble.
