The young all-rounder from England Sam Curran has been making the right noises ever since he donned the international jersey. He also had a decent Indian Premier League (IPL) debut last year with the Kings XI Punjab. Curran; however, will represent the last time finalist Chennai Super Kings in the forthcoming IPL; which is now postponed for an indefinite period owing to coronavirus pandemic.
The 21-year-old, who had joined Kings XI Punjab for Rs 7.2 crore for IPL 2019, was bought by the Super Kings (CSK) for Rs 5.55 crore for IPL 2020. He had impressed in his time first stint in India claiming a hat-trick against Delhi Capitals. He scored 95 runs and scalped 10 wickets in nine matches.

“Him and Kohli are probably the two biggest but all the Indians are massive superstars. Chennai is an older squad so there are quite a few legends who have made it in the game. Hopefully, they will be looking to give tips to the younger players. That’s something I’m really looking forward to,” Curran added.
Furthermore, Sam Curran also already confirmed his availability for IPL 2020 which might see a few overseas cricketers miss out due to travel restrictions if it takes place. BCCI is yet to take a final call on this and is taking small steps before taking the final call.
