MELBOURNE: Though Sam Curran was given the Player of the match award in England's five-wicket victory over Pakistan in the final of Men's T20 World Cup for his sensational spell of 3/12 in four overs, the left-arm pacer believes all-rounder Ben Stokes should have received the accolade for his unbeaten 52 taking the side over the line in a chase of 138.
"I don't think I should be getting this, the way Stokesy played there, to get a 50 in the final, he should get this. He has done it so many times for us! We're going to enjoy this occasion, very special."
"(Ben Stokes is) Incredibly special. He is someone I look up to and always turns up when the team needs him. People question him (Stokes), but there's no questioning him... he's the man!" said Curran in the post-match presentation ceremony. IANS
