The England all-rounder Sam Curran has emerged as an impactful player for his team ever since he made his international debut. England and India are currently locking horns with each other for the Test series now and Curran opened up about facing India and the experiences he had while playing for the Chennai Super Kings. Amidst this series, Curran will be up against a few of his fellow mates at CSK in what is already anticipated as a high-octane series.

Sam Curran has had some phenomenal outings for CSK in the IPL and they have been crucial for the side.

During a recent chat with ESPNCricinfo, Sam Curran said, “There are a couple of guys I got friendly with at the IPL, but come the series, they’ll obviously be enemies. They are really nice guys that I played with at Chennai and there’s a few I look forward to seeing.”

Sam Curran has been one of the bowlers that skipper MS Dhoni has always relied on in CSK. He has shown immense trust in the abilities of the all-rounder as he was tried as an opener as well in IPL 2020. Dhoni had termed Curran as a complete player and the all-rounder feels that something like this coming from him boosts one’s confidence.

Describing the same, Sam Curran said, “A player like Dhoni, he’s got such a big presence in the game. He’s achieved so many amazing things. Naturally, you get confidence from that. There’s nothing better for me as a younger player to get put in those scenarios. It’s a great franchise and hopefully, I can contribute more in the coming years.”
