“Ash (R Ashwin) guided me. Ryan Harris was remaining at the third man region. Against the nearby hitters, I needed to ask our players, ‘Where does he hit?’. Shami got two astonishing overs at last which helped,” he said.
Curran said he needs to buckle down on his batting.
“I have worked a ton on my batting over the span of the latest couple of months. I like to lock in on my batting, bowling and dealing with. I have opened in school cricket, yet think this was the principal gone through in master cricket. In a perfect world, we keep winning entertainments,” he said.
