His Captain, Sam Curran who was awarded the man of the match award for his incredible fifty said in the post match interview, “I don’t think I should be getting the Player Of The Match award”. Curran who played an captain’s knock after his side was reduced to 83-4, clearly felt that Arshdeep deserved the award for his wickets much more than he did.
