Just a few hours after holding our nerve in one of the most dramatic finales of t20 world cup 2026England’s all-rounder Sam Curran Got a very different kind of release. Late night on Sunday, February 8, the 27-year-old was seen driving a Lamborghini with his fiancee on the glittering streets of Mumbai. Isabella Grace Symonds-Willmott was with him – an image which quickly went viral and perfectly captured the exhale after a high-wire act at the Wankhede.
heartthrob in wankhede
This carefree cruise was in stark contrast to the cauldron that Curran had just left at the Wankhede Stadium. England’s tournament opener against Nepal was a heart-stopping affair as weak-willed players chased down a tough target with fearless determination amid a roaring partisan crowd. 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 batsmen kept the asking rate in check, sapped the energy in the stands and forced England into the defensive zone earlier than planned. With every boundary, the noise increased and when the final over came, it felt close to impossible discomfort. Ten runs were needed from six balls, the set batsmen were ready to pounce and history was within touching distance.

The game is at stake, England captain harry brook The ball was bowled towards Curran – and the left-handed batsman gave a lesson in nervousness and nuance. He mixed yorkers with well-disguised slower balls, kept the ball away from the arc and denied boundaries in the death overs. Nepal could score only five runs in this over. England escaped by four runs, with Nepal finishing on 180/6. It wasn’t attractive; It was clinical. And it changed the mood of England’s campaign in six balls.

Once the adrenaline subsided and the roar of Wankhede gradually faded into memory, Curran traded his spikes and intensity of the match for a spontaneous style. In the video circulating on social media platforms, the England all-rounder is shown in a very light mood as he relaxes while driving on Mumbai’s prestigious Marine Drive.
With Isabella sitting next to him, the moment seemed intimate but celebratory – a far cry 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 provided a rare glimpse of how elite athletes relax after carrying the weight of a nation on their shoulders.
