IPL 2024: ‘Cricket Is Turning Into Baseball, Isn't It?,’ Says Curran After Historic Chase Against KKR
The stage was set at the iconic Eden Gardens, where Punjab Kings embarked on an audacious chase of 262 runs. Jonny Bairstow, returning to the Kings' lineup after a stint on the sidelines, took center stage with a breathtaking display batting as he bludgeoned an unbeaten 108 off just 48 deliveries. Shashank Singh, thrust into the spotlight at No. 4, embraced the challenge with gusto, smashing an unbeaten 68 off 28 balls to cement his status as one of the season's standout performers.
"Cricket is turning into baseball, isn't it? It was absolutely incredible," Curran mused at the post-match presentation. "Where do we (start)? Absolutely delighted with two points. Games like that are out of the world, but most importantly we've had a tough few weeks as a team [this was Kings' first win in five games] but we've really hung in there. We've taken teams down to the wire and, I think, forget about the scores... I thought we actually deserved victory."
