England’s backup coach Graham Thorpe believes that his performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) helped Sam Kuran improve his game. Curran is one of the main members of the Chennai Super King (CSK) led by MS Dhoni in the IPL. He won the game for the team with a bat and a ball.
In the second ODI match against Sri Lanka at the Kennington Oval in London, Cullan returned with a score of 48 for 5, in England’s eight wicket victory over the unfortunate Lankan. Although Dhananjaya de Silva’s running ball scored 91, Curran’s ball-holding efforts reduced the visiting team to 241 with 9 points. Jason Roy, Joe Root and England captain Eoin Morgan brought the home team home half a century later
Thorpe praised Cullen, acknowledging that IPL has helped all-around players make great progress. He said: “I think this is a great help to him. In every environment Sam enters, he has demonstrated competitiveness and the ability to find a way to perform. From this perspective, playing at IPL puts him at high pressure. When pushing him, his ability to hit the ball with a bat has always been there.
“I think this has developed to a very good level. He played bowling at an important moment in the IPL, so he was under pressure and challenges. At 23, he had some very good experience,” Thorpe added.
However, Thorpe also warned that as a multi-form cricket player, consistently achieving results will be one of the biggest challenges for Kelan to move forward. The former England batsman explained: “As you know, for someone like Ben Stokes, the workload and fitness level are huge. So Sam became a multi-format cricket player. The challenge is to provide this consistency to play for England again and again.”
After winning three series with a score of 2-0, England will face Sri Lanka in their third ODI match in Bristol on Sunday. England also whitewashed Sri Lanka in T20Is earlier.
