New Delhi:

England all-rounder Sam Curran, the most expensive player in Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) history, has entered the tournament with a different pressure.

And from the picture seen of him batting in the first match against KKR on Saturday, he is looking better and more responsible than before.

Sam Kuran remained unbeaten and scored 26 runs in 17 balls with 2 fours.

And his performance must have assured the Punjab management that the Rs 18.50 crore paid for the left-handed all-rounder could pay off handsomely this time.

How far this performance will go, only future will tell, but according to Punjab Kings coach Trevor Bayliss, Quraan is the most important player in his plan.

Bellis said in a conversation with a channel that in his team, Kuran was such a player in the last season, whose team lacked.

We didn't have a finisher last season.

He said that during the auction, we were bidding on Quran under the target.

We are glad that we were able to add him to the team. 

The Punjab coach said that before I joined the team and after the start of the last season, the management realized that they needed a player who could play the role of a finisher.

He said that our strategy during the auction was such that we wanted an all-rounder who could also bat at the end of the innings.

He said that the idea of ​​the management was to take an international all-rounder.

And we are hoping that Sam Kuran will prove to be an important player for us this time.

Kuran has done much better in international cricket and the last T20 World Cup. 

Bellis further said that another English cricketer Liam Livingstor will soon join the Punjab team.

It is expected that till then the young cricketers will do better in the absence of veteran players.

At the moment we do not have Kagisa Rabad and Johnny Bairstow.

We will miss them too.

But Shahrukh is looking in good form.

He is hitting the ball well.
