“He doesn’t have that experience yet”, Sehwag’s brutal remark on Sam Curran

PBKS faced a 24-run defeat to RCB in their IPL 2023 match on Thursday afternoon. After being invited to bat by PBKS’ stand-in skipper Sam Curran, the RCB posted a competitive total of 174/4 in 20 overs; their openers Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis posted a 137-run stand for the opening wicket. In reply, the Kings were bowled out on 150 with ten deliveries to spare.

Sehwag told Cricbuzz –

“He’s an international player. But you can’t buy experience with 18 crore. It only comes when you play, when your hair turn white as you play under the hot sun.” A bit of lazy running cost Curran his wicket and the bowling all-rounder was clearly not happy with himself as he walked back towards the dressing room.

Former India opener Virender Sehwag, who has worked with PBKS – both as player and coach in the past – came down hardly at Curran for his lazy running-between-the-wickets.

Sehwag further said –

“We think just because he was bought for 18 crore, he will win you matches. But he doesn’t have that experience yet. It was poor running, there was no need for that. You’re captain, you should’ve stayed, tried to take it to the final overs. But again, the lack of experience cost him.”
