English star all rounder Sam Curran had another disaster day in IPL as his side PBKS were crashed by Gujrat Titans by 3 wickets on Sunday (21st April) in Mullanpur, Chandigarh. After another defeat, former Indian opening batter Virender Shewag slammed the stand-in all rounder.

The regular captain of Punjab Kings' Shikhar Dhawan was ruled out for atleast 3 matches and Sam Curran came as the interim captain of the side but has failed to impress with both bat and ball. As he lost all the matches he's captained thus far, which led PBKS to the lowly ninth position in the standings.
"If I was in the PBKS dugout, I would not even pick him in my team, neither as a batting all-rounder nor as a bowling all-rounder. I wouldn't pick him", he said.
"A player is not of any use, if he can bowl a bit and bat a bit. You either bat properly and win us the match, or you bowl and win us the game. This bits and pieces part I don't understand," he added.
Sam Curran really hasn’t clicked this season for PBKS, he amassed just 152 runs at a dismal average of 19 striking at 116.03. And has picked up 11 wickets at an average of 19.18 and an economy rate of 8.79.
