Tom Curran IPL Profile

Thomas Kevin Curran, known commonly as Tom Curran, is an English cricketer who bowls right-arm medium-fast and acts as a handy right-handed batter in the lower-order. His journey in cricket is steeped in familial ties and a natural talent for the game.

Hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, Curran's upbringing was infused with cricketing heritage. His father, Kevin Curran, a former Zimbabwe international, instilled in him a love for the sport. Moreover, his younger brother, Sam Curran, also graces the international cricket stage, further highlighting the family's deep-rooted connection to the game.

At his tender age, Curran's family relocated to England, where he found his cricketing home at the Surrey County Club. It was here that he honed his skills, catching the eye of selectors with his impressive performances in county cricket.

Making his mark as a fast bowler, Curran's ability to deliver under pressure, particularly in the death overs, has earned him accolades. His knack for striking boundaries in the lower order adds an extra dimension to his game, making him a valuable asset to any team.

Curran's international debut in One Day and T20 cricket came in 2017 against the West Indies, marking the beginning of a promising career on the international stage. He was part of England's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup, although he remained unused in the tournament which England ended up winning at home.

Beyond international cricket, Curran has left his mark in T20 leagues worldwide, showcasing his talents on various platforms. His stint with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL in 2018, however, did not yield the desired results, with Curran managing only six wickets in five matches. Subsequently, he found a new opportunity with Rajasthan Royals for the 2020 IPL season after being released by KKR.

Transitioning to Delhi Daredevils in 2021, Tom Curran continued to display his skills before securing a spot with Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the upcoming 2024 IPL season.
