Indians can’t forget his name, can they? Though Curran made his debut against Pakistan, it was against India he exhibited his all-around skills and in the end proved to be the difference in the outcome of the series. His valuable 63 runs in the second innings at Birmingham gave England enough runs to defend the target and that set the tone for the hosts.

Not only he was valuable with the bat, he even produced some wonderful spells to break a partnership. The 20-year-old was adjudged the Man of the Series for his heroics with both bat and ball and his batting along with the tail hurt India the most and they ended up losing the series 4-1.

Curran averages 38 with the bat 23 with the ball which is a glorious start to his Test career. From here on the Surrey cricketer is only going to get better and bring more laurels to England cricket.
