In response to Curran’s video, several fans have flooded the comment box with amazing comments.

“Sam Curran gave 98 runs in 9 overs and England lost the match, he was in news for both good and bad reason,” wrote a fan.

“I’ve often wanted to do it but chickened out. It makes no sense not to do it really especially when I’ve just fielded in the slips in a pair of prescription Oakleys. But then you see older club players batting with transitions lenses in regular specs and it’s not even a thing,” tweeted another fan.

In response to the video, a third user commented, “Gordon Greenidge used in a few test matches. Medical reasons.”
