The player of the tournament in their 2022 T20 World Cup win, Curran was dropped from England’s white-ball sides at the start of the year meaning he missed the tour of India and the Champions Trophy.
He had made single-figure scores in his three previous appearances in this year’s IPL but on this occasion held together a batting line-up that has struggled throughout the tournament.
The 26-year-old struck nine fours and four sixes against the side that released him last year, targeting the leg-side boundary.
He was caught behind in the 18th over, at the start of a collapse of six wickets in 12 balls including a hat-trick for leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.
He took four wickets in the penultimate over, MS Dhoni and then Deepak Hooda, Anshul Kamboj and Noor Ahmad in consecutive deliveries.
