IPL 2019: Best Debutant XI

#8 Sam Curran (Kings XI Punjab)

Sam Curran was a hot property at the auction

Kings XI Punjab will be mighty pleased to get the services of Sam Curran in IPL 2019. Curran has had a brilliant start to his international career; he has been impressive with both bat and ball, and was thus expected to earn big money at the auction.

After a fierce bidding war, Curran was eventually bought by Kings XI Punjab for Rs 7.20 crore. In the process he also became the most expensive overseas player of the auction.

The conditions in Mohali will suit Curran's bowling style, and he will likely be a big asset for the Kings.
