Cummins in the IPL has always been a curious case. Almost every time franchises showed interest in this star pacer and paid him a huge amount of money in all the previously held seasons.
However, most of the time, he was not available due to injury or personal reasons.
Although he initially performed well for the KKR, there is now a lot of hope and expectations from him this season as the SRH skipper.
So it will be interesting to see if he is able to turn around the SRH franchise’s fortunes, just like he did for Australia at the international level.
