A proven Test campaigner, Sam Curran was phenomenal against India with the red ball. However, his ability with white one is still to be proven.

Curran has all the makings of a successful T20 all-rounder. However, there are two pertinent questions around him: 1. Will he find a place in a team already packed with experienced white ball specialists such as Chris Gayle, David Miller, Andrew Tye, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Moises Henriques and Nicholas Pooran? 2. While there is great potential in him, is 7.2 crore too steep a gamble?

Whether his T20 skills will impress, we will have to wait and see.
