IPL: Skipper Cummins Wishes To See Aggressive Start To Season From Sunrisers Hyderabad
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Pat Cummins, the newly-appointed captain of IPL 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad, said he wishes to see a ‘really aggressive start’ to their IPL 2024 campaign from his side.
SRH were captained by Aiden Markram previously, but finished bottom of the points table in IPL 2023, returning with just four wins from 14 matches. But Cummins had a magnificent 2023, which boosted his leadership credentials – winning the World Test Championship (WTC), retaining the Ashes in England and claiming a record sixth Men’s ODI World Cup as captain of Australia.
In last year’s IPL Auction at Dubai, Cummins was roped in by the franchise for a whopping INR 20.5 crore, making him the second-most expensive player in the history of the league. Subsequently, SRH made Cummins its captain, making IPL 2024 the first instance of him captaining a T20 team.
