Following his side’s ICC T20 World Cup win, England all-rounder Sam Curran admitted that his stints in the Indian Premier League helped him evolve and deliver on big occasions in international cricket.
Top performances from Sam Curran and Ben Stokes powered England to their second ICC T20 World Cup title after 2010, as they defeated Pakistan by five wickets in a gripping low-scoring final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday. “I loved my time there. Learnt a lot from these guys. It is fantastic learning from guys who have played in these tournaments and big occasions. I am always trying to keep learning and improving. Who knows, hopefully, I will be back in IPL,” said Curran after the match.
Curran has represented Punjab Kings and most recently, Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, where he played under legendary Indian cricketer MS Dhoni.
Curran said that the pitch offered some great pace and bounce and his team were happy with the total they restricted Pakistan to.
“It was a good pitch, challenged both and batters. We are happy with the win,” he added.
