Bravo is an excellent death bowler.

No capt Kane?

or is he just a pretend capt who is there to give the impression that wee Davey isn't really the skipper?

Sam Curran opened the batting today for Kings XI, made 20 from 10 balls, looked good, played some nice drives, was then out plumb LBW to lamichanne

2.2-0-11-4
Hat trick and Player of the Match. Changed the game when he got Ingram (38) out. Before that DC needed 23 runs from 18 balls. Lost 5 wickets for 8 runs.
Curran's other match RR lost 7 wickets for 24 runs from last 4 overs

Didn't expect Curran to play much with Tye in the squad but now how can Kings XI Punjab leave him out?

Big turnaround from his first game!! Probably wont open once Gayle comes back, excellent performance from him with the ball...

RCB vs RR today, both teams winless thus far

He is an intriguing prospect, Curran. I cant really decide as yet if his lack of pace will be terminal to his prospects at the high end of the game, or whether or not he has other tools outside of England to make it in all forms of the game. My suspicion has always been that his batting shows more potential, and that he might be a sort of English Smith, which the batting gradually pasting over the bowling.

He's 20, and matches like this in the IPL must show he has a lot of potential.

Parthiv Patel gets to 50
