Since 2022, only four men have bowled at least 60 overs and taken a minimum of 30 wickets in the last four of a T20 game. He is one of them and has the best average and best economy rate.

“I don’t think personally I should get the man of the match (award), (after) the way the boys finished the game,” Curran said. “Arshdeep and Nathan were unbelievable. The spinners bowled really well.”

Curran said that despite the absence of regular captain Shikhar Dhawan, the depth that the Kings have in their line-up – Jitesh Sharma and Shahrukh Khan were placed at No. 7 and No. 8 respectively against Mumbai – allowed them to bat freely and play their part.

He said, “We have played six matches so far; we have won three and lost three. At the moment Stevens is doing the same.” “There’s still a lot of time left in the tournament; we can’t really look down and start worrying too much about things. It’s about staying in the game and the competition and continuing to do the right things.

“Credit to Arshdeep for how he bowled the last few overs. It wasn’t really our day but we gave it a good fight.”
