Ben Curran: After losing the T20 series in Ireland and England, the Indian team is ready for its new mission under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. The 3 T20 match series between India and Zimbabwe is starting from Thursday 23rd July. Now more eyes are on this series than before because questions are being raised whether the Indian team will be able to defeat Zimbabwe or will there be some upset? In this series, eyes will also be on Zimbabwean batsman Ben Curran to see whether he will be able to trouble Team India like his brother Sam Curran.
The first match of the T20 series will be played on 23 July in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe. Team India will enter this series after losing 6 out of 7 T20 matches. In such a situation, there will be pressure on him to win. At the same time, the players of Zimbabwe will be encouraged after the recent performance of Team India and themselves that they too can do wonders like Ireland or England. But this is not going to be that easy and to do this, every Zimbabwean player will have to perform with all his might.
Will you make your debut and do wonders like your brother?
Every Zimbabwean player will be desperate for this but left-handed batsman Ben Curran will be most curious. Ben Curran, who opened for Zimbabwe in Test and ODI, has not yet made his T20 debut for the team. But he has been selected in this series and due to this there is full hope that he can debut in the first match. Now if he makes his debut, he will have a chance to leave an impression in front of the T20 World Champion.
But will Ben Curran be able to trouble Team India like his younger brother Sam Curran? Ben’s younger brother Sam Curran, who plays for England, recently played an important role in the victory in the T20 and ODI series against India. He took 7 wickets in the T20 series and 6 wickets in the ODI series. Apart from this, on one or two occasions he also played small but important innings, which became the reason for the team’s victory.
Ben is playing for Zimbabwe like his father
Talking about Ben Curran, like his elder brother Tom and younger brother Sam, he could never play international cricket for England. This was the reason why he shifted to Zimbabwe in 2024 and started playing for this team. In fact, Zimbabwe is their real team because the father of the Karan brothers, Kevin Karan, is actually a resident of Zimbabwe and he also played some international matches for Zimbabwe. In such a situation, now Ben Curran is carrying forward his father’s legacy in Zimbabwe.
