Just hours after holding his nerve in one of the most dramatic finishes of the T20 World Cup 2026, England all-rounder Sam Curran found a very different kind of release. Late on Sunday night, February 8, the 27-year-old was spotted driving a Lamborghini through Mumbai’s glowing streets, with his fiancée Isabella Grace Symonds-Willmott by his side—an image that quickly went viral and perfectly captured the exhale after a high-wire act at the Wankhede.
A heart-stopper at Wankhede
The carefree cruise was a sharp contrast to the cauldron Curran had just survived at Wankhede Stadium. England’s tournament opener against Nepal turned into a heart-stopper, as the underdogs, roared on by a partisan crowd, chased down a stiff target with fearless intent. England’s 184/7 looked solid on paper, but Nepal’s response was full of belief, timing and audacity—turning the night into a test of temperament.
Nepal refused to blink. Their batters kept the asking rate in check, feeding off the energy in the stands and forcing England into defensive fields earlier than planned. With every boundary, the noise swelled, and by the time the final over arrived, the impossible felt uncomfortably close. Ten runs were needed from six balls, with set batters ready to pounce and history within touching distance.

With the game on the line, England captain Harry Brook tossed the ball to Curran—and the left-armer delivered a lesson in nerve and nuance. He mixed yorkers with well-disguised slower balls, kept the ball away from the arc, and denied boundaries at the death. Nepal managed only five runs from the over. England escaped by four, Nepal finishing on 180/6. It wasn’t flashy; it was clinical. And it changed the mood of England’s campaign in six balls.

Once the adrenaline ebbed and the roar of the Wankhede slowly faded into memory, Curran swapped his spikes and match intensity for effortless style. Videos circulating across social media platforms showed the England all-rounder in a noticeably lighter mood, relaxed behind the wheel as he cruised along Mumbai’s iconic Marine Drive.
With Isabella seated beside him, the moment felt intimate yet celebratory—far removed from the pressure of the final over. The city’s glittering skyline and streetlights shimmered off the supercar’s polished paintwork, creating a cinematic backdrop that perfectly captured the calm after the storm and a rare glimpse into how elite athletes unwind after carrying the weight of a nation on their shoulders.
