Going back to Punjab, where I played my first season in the IPL four years ago, is obviously the best place to start for me. It, therefore, looks wonderful to be returning there, and I am looking forward to joining some English team members as well, said Curran.

Yes, I agree that it will be considerably different, but as I mentioned, I am familiar with the stadium. I am familiar with Mohali, so having familiar teammates who can assist me is certainly a slight benefit. And yes, after a wonderful world cup, I feel confident going into this competition.

It’s incredible, and I’m simply giddy with excitement. I won’t be visiting India for a few more months, but it is tremendously thrilling. It’s a great opportunity that I’m very thrilled about, as you can obviously guess. There are a lot of thoughts racing through his head, and he continued, “It’s wonderful and quite overwhelming.”
