Sam Curran is now the most expensive player at any IPL auction in history.

Left-arm quick who can bowl in all three phases, left-arm batter who can be very dangerous as a middle-over spin hitter, man of the last T20 World Cup: quite the package.

Never forget , it was CSK who unearthed and moulded Sam Curran's T20 skills and made him an asset. He will always belong to CSK. Period.

So MI finally outbid by Punjab for Sam Curran, sadly breaking my dream of Curran Arjun starring together for Mumbai!

Must say I'm surprised that Cam Green has gone for more than Ben Stokes. Purely because Ben Stokes is already the player one expects Cam Green to be later in his career. Plus Stokes offers leadership option as well. #IPLAuction
