But, a funny incident happened during the 18th over of England’s innings. They needed 13 runs off 13 balls as Sam Curran was batting. Lahiru Kumara was bowling that over. Before that last delivery of that over, Aakash Chopra and Harbhajan Singh were doing commentary. They were discussing that Sam Curran has been performing well. But, they also said that they should not praise him as the commentators' curse is real. Then, on the next delivery, Sam Curran got out. Seeing that, fans went crazy as they troll Aakash Chopra badly.
