England all-rounder Sam Curran was in Stamford Bridge for the Chelsea vs Bournemouth Premier League match.
Having recently become the most expensive player in IPL history, England all-rounder Sam Curran took some time away from cricket and decided to watch a Premier League match with his brothers Tom and Ben. Sam broke Chris Morris' record in the IPL 2023 Auction, when Punjab Kings (PBKS) purchased him for ₹18.5 crore and became the most expensive player in IPL history. In 2020, Morris was bought by Rajasthan Royals (RR) for ₹16.25 crore.
The 24-year-old was involved in a mega-bidding war, with his base price at ₹2 crore. As the bids went past ₹5 crore, Mumbai Indians (MI) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) began to battle hard and then it was only MI and RR left in the competition, crossing ₹10 crore. Then Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and PBKS entered the race and took it to ₹15.50 crore, and then suddenly Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) jumped in with a bid of ₹15.75 crore. PBKS then pushed for ₹16.50 crore, with MI taking it to ₹16.75 crore. Finally, PBKS reigned supreme with a bid of ₹18.50 crore.
Enjoying his surge in popularity after winning the T20 World Cup this year, Curran was in Stamford Bridge to watch Chelsea's 2-0 Premier League win vs Bournemouth. He was also adjudged as Player of the Tournament in the T20 World Cup.
The IPL 2023 Auction also saw MI purchase Cameron Green for ₹17.5 crore, and Ben Stokes moving to CSK for ₹16.25 crore, breaking Morris' record within 15 minutes of Set 2.
Sharing the photos of the Curran brothers in social media, Chelsea captioned it as, "The Curran brothers in for the show!"
