Indian team Former cricketer Virender Sehwag is quite disappointed with the performance of English all-rounder Sam Curran in IPL 2024. The situation is such that Sehwag has given a big statement and even said that if he had been a part of the management of Punjab Kings, he would not have even kept Sam Curran in the team. He has called Sam Curran a player who is of no use to the team.

Punjab Kings had to face defeat against Gujarat Titans in Mullanpur. In this match, Sam Curran could not impress with both batting and bowling, due to which Virender Sehwag got angry at the player worth Rs 18.50 crore.

He gave this big statement on Sam Curran after the defeat of Punjab Kings. He said, 'If I had been in the management of Punjab, I would have neither taken Sam Curran as a batting all-rounder nor as a bowling all-rounder. I don't take him in the team because a player who bats a little and bowls a little is of no use. Either you bat completely and win the match or you bowl completely and win the match. I don't understand this little bit.

Let us tell you that in the match against Gujarat Titans, Sam Curran had decided to open the team while leading the Punjab Kings. But here he could score only 20 runs on 19 balls and then lost his wicket after being LBW on Rashid Khan's ball. Punjab Kings fans were hopeful that Sam Curran would definitely perform something special with his bowling, but he bowled only 2 overs in the entire match and could take only one wicket for 18 runs. Not only this, he also gave only 3 overs to Harshal Patel on a slow pitch, due to which he was criticized a lot.

Has performed like this in IPL 2024

Let us tell you that Sam Curran has scored 154 runs in 8 matches so far in IPL 2024 at an average of 19. He has not been able to do anything special with batting, but he has performed well while bowling. Sam Curran has taken 11 wickets in the season. Also know that in the absence of Shikhar Dhawan, this player worth Rs 18.50 crore is leading the team.
