What makes Sam Curran such an exciting prospect in Test cricket?

#3 His batting technique

On pitches which have troubled the best of batsmen, Curran played extremely well and has been a complete surprise package. He has made his runs at a fair clip and shown the stomach to fight in tough batting conditions. An important aspect of his batting is that he moves his feet really well and put them to good use against both spinners and fast bowlers.

He has twice reached his half-century hitting sixes against Ashwin, using his feet really well. He has a good eye and is able to find gaps regularly. He has a good defense and looks completely at bay against opposition bowlers. He is one of the top run-getters in the current series against India and even on his debut he outscored Jos Buttler in a small partnership of 34.
