Tom Curran, an accomplished England fast bowler, recently found himself at the heart of an unexpected media storm. During the heightened tensions between India and Pakistan in the Asia region, news began circulating online that Curran had "cried like a child" out of fear while playing in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). But how much truth was there to these reports, and what did Curran really experience during this challenging time?
Social media and global news platforms were abuzz with claims that Tom Curran broke down due to the strained atmosphere between India and Pakistan. The rumor gained traction after Bangladesh all-rounder Rishad Hossain reportedly stated that Curran and New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell were extremely anxious during the disruptions. According to Zee News, the situation escalated quickly, with online speculation outpacing facts.
Tom Curran addressed the rumors head-on. In a public statement, he firmly denied that he had "cried like a child" or been overwhelmed by fear. Curran used social media to set the record straight and expressed relief that the PSL could resume as the situation normalized between the two nations. As covered in NDTV's detailed report, Tom Curran stated, "I'm glad to see things resuming, and I pray for continued peace between two very special countries. Btw promise, I didn't cry; was ready." His clarity helped put to rest much of the speculation.
After the initial story went viral, Rishad Hossain issued a public apology. He admitted that his words had been misunderstood and that the true context was lost in translation. The Times of India also highlights how the media’s handling of Rishad's comments fueled the controversy and contributed to a false image of Curran’s reaction.
