At that price, Curran is also the most expensive player in IPL history; he was reunited with the franchise that first brought him into the IPL in 2019.
Curran's England team-mate Harry Brook also made a splash when Sunrisers Hyderabad staved off aggressive bidding from Rajasthan Royals to secure his services for INR 13.25 crore (USD 1.6 million approx.). This is the most a franchise has paid to sign an overseas batter at an auction.
Brook, 23, is set to feature in his maiden IPL season following a breakout year in international cricket. Only two months ago in Pakistan, his first international overseas trip, Brook impressed with his clean power-hitting to win the Player-of-the-Series award after hitting 328 runs at a strike rate of 163.01, in a series England won 4-3.
His superior record in Asia - 581 runs in 16 T20I innings at a strike rate of 167.43 - may have been an attractive proposition for teams. More recently, Brook put behind a disappointing T20 World Cup campaign to blast two centuries in the three-Test series England won 3-0.
