The 2023 IPL season looks to be the most hotly contested yet, with last year’s winners, the Gujrat Titans, aiming to retain the IPL crown after their 2022 final win over the Rajasthan Royals.
The Punjab Kings have invested heavily with English all-rounder Sam Curran, who became the most expensive player in the history of the IPL during the 2023 mega-auction as the side shelled out an unprecedented INR18.5crore ($2.2m) for Curran.
Danny Bates, Chief Operations Officer at STARZPLAY, said: “We’re delighted that CricLife has added the TATA Indian Premier League 2023 to their channel, further enhancing the unrivalled line-up of cricket on STARZPLAY.
