Sam Curran riveted a significant bit of attention in the IPL ever since his introduction to the cash-rich league. Making his debut in 2019, he scored 95 runs and claimed 10 wickets. However, once he signed up with the Punjab Kings, his numbers started scaling the skies. In the last two seasons, he has claimed 26 wickets while 546 runs.
As the IPL 2025 mega-auction is just around the corner, there have been questions about whether he should be a part of the PBKS side anymore or not? There are firm reasons to believe that the English all-rounder can be a big gamechanger and if Punjab lets him go, it is only going to be a monumental loss for them. Here are three reasons why letting go of Sam Curran is going to be a mistake.

All-rounders are always the talk of the town, especially in T20 cricket. Sam Curran has proven himself to be absolutely priceless in both the departments, first with the ball and then with the bat. Curran can hammer the ball big enough and play a crucial role anywhere at number five, six or seven while being an ace with the new ball in his hands.
#2 Leadership material
Despite being young, Sam Curran has already proven his ability to lead the side. Also him being young is actually an advantage as he will be able to shape the youngsters into something unstoppable going forward. Even without the captaincy, Sam Curran has shown that how his constant conversations with the other bowlers have made significant impact on the overall exploits.
#3 Gun fielder
Sam Curran is an excellent ground-fielder and has proven to be a significant difference between two sides. Apart from that his versatility on the field is another incredible side to his.
The ease with which he slots himself in is absolutely brilliant to watch and that simply enhances his chances of retention for the Punjab Kings.
