Curran, who turned heads with his brilliant performances on the field, has continued with his exploits off the field. On Sunday, Curran came up with a savage reply on being called 'naughty' by commentator Ian Bishop for spoiling other teams’ parties.

Curran told Ian Bishop that other teams who partied the other day when Chennai beat Kolkata, are probably struggling for the playoffs now. He added that hopefully if they beat Punjab, they will be out as well, which will be fun. Bishop then responded Curran saying that it is naughty of him to be looking to spoil other people’s parties all the time.
In reply, Curran savagely said that other teams spoiled their party earlier in the competition by beating them, which is why they will try to beat them on Sunday. Interestingly, Curran played for Punjab in the 2019 season.
