Sam Curran has been the talk of the town for the past few days, and Punjab Kings signing him for INR 18.25 crore has already made him the hero of IPL 2023. He made his IPL debut for the Punjab-based franchise before moving to Chennai Super Kings for the 2020 and 2021 editions. He missed out on the 2022 edition due to an injury but grabbed all eyeballs on his return at the IPL 2023 auctions.

Many fans had anticipated that CSK would get him back into the side, but the bidding war turned out to be very intense. Finally, PBKS managed to get his services as the all-rounder will be back to where it all started. The CSK fans were surely disappointed to see Curran not coming back, but CSK’s send-off tweet for the 24-year-old got everyone’s stomach tickling.

CSK shared their best wishes for Curran with a hilarious picture of him using the baby face filter. Curran, during his games with CSK, used to don funny goggles with a headband. His picture in such an avatar became a meme template for the fans.

“Tough luck, well played! Go well, Sam!,” Chennai Super Kings tweeted.

Curran shattered all records as he became the most expensive player in the history of the Indian Premier League. Pat Cummins broke the record in IPL 2021 by achieving the feat, but Chris Morris surpassed Cummins to become the most expensive player at the end of the auction. The English all-rounder touched the roof when six out of 10 teams entered the bidding war.

Curran, while representing the Punjab Kings, had picked up an IPL hat-trick, becoming just the 18th player to achieve the feat. He became just the third player, after Yuvraj Singh and Axar Patel, from Punjab Kings to claim a hat-trick at the cash-rich event. Now that he has bagged the biggest-ever sum amount, it will be interesting to see how he goes at the IPL 2023.
