IPL 2023: Team-wise one player who could be match winners
The 2023 edition of the IPL will kickstart on March 31 when defending champions Gujarat Giants will take on Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
7. Punjab Kings (PBKS) - Sam Curran
Sam Curran became the most expensive player in the history of IPL when his services were procured by Punjab Kings at the 2022 IPL auctions. PBKS spent a huge amount on him hoping that he would be an impact player for them, specially so with the ball, along with Arshdeep Singh and Kagiso Rabada.
He was also a part of the England squad that won the ICC WT20I Men’s World Cup in 2022. In the tournament, he was stupendous with the ball and picked up 13 wickets, the highest for any England bowler in the World Cup. For his exploits, Curran was also adjudged the 'Player of the Tournament'.
Punjab Kings would expect him to team up with Kagiso Rabada and Arshdeep Singh to add more firepower to their bowling unit whereas in the batting unit too, Curran can come handy with his brisk and powerful knocks. Overall, Sam Curran could turn into a match-winner for PBKS in the upcoming season.
