Before the start of the IPL season, a lot was expected of Punjab’s biggest buy Sam Curran. Though he could not match the over expectations, he could still influence the results of a few games in which he played.

Curran got Steve Smith as his maiden IPL wicket. In the same match, he also accounted for Sanju Samson but went for 52 runs. His best performance as a bowler came in his second IPL match against DC when he took 4 for 11 including a hat trick. This was the famous match in which DC lost their last 7 wickets for 8 runs.

Sam Curran was instrumental in DC’s collapse with a hat-trick. Before that, Curran opened the batting and scored 20 off 10 balls. In the match against KKR, Curran scored his maiden IPL half-century which came off 24 balls at a strike rate of 229.

Curran finished his IPL campaign on a happy note with the wickets of Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, and Suresh Raina.
