Punjab Kings spent Rs 18.50 crore to buy him in the auction last year. But he could not perform as per the expectations with which he had included Karan in his team. Despite this, the team management decided to retain him for the upcoming season. However, former cricketer Aakash Chopra was surprised by this decision of Punjab Kings as he said that this young player has hardly performed well in the last 12-17 months. Chopra believes that Sam Curran should have been released and some other player should have been bought. He reminded Curran of his failure in IPL and SA20. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Sam Karan Aakash Chopra said in a video on his YouTube channel that, “I was extremely surprised. Why did you retain Sam Curran? He has spent Rs 18.50 crore in one place. I wouldn’t call it a non-performing asset but would definitely call it a very expensive asset. He was sold for Rs 18.50 crore as there were only three all-rounders in the mini auction.” The former opener further said, “However, if you look at his performance in the last IPL, now SA20 or last year, he has not done anything special in the last 12-17 months. He played well in the 2022 T20 World Cup and that too because the side boundaries in Australia were very long.” Chopra believes that if Punjab had released Karan, they could have bought him at a much cheaper price in the auction. He said that the franchise could have signed him at half the price or even cheaper. He further said, “He should have been released. There was a buyback option available if you wished. You could have got it back for half the price or even cheaper, but PB said they would keep it. Is that the Trevor Bayliss connection? I don’t know, I’m just sharing my opinion.” Also read: Prithvi Shaw will not return to cricket now!
