Pat Cummins Reflects on IPL Auction and India’s Significance in His Career
During the IPL 2024 auction, the Australian pacer went for 20.5 crore rupees, making him the second most expensive player in the competition’s history.
Before making his SRH debut, Cummins had stated that he felt India was like a second home.
“India is like a second home. We spend so much time here. IPL you’ve got your home teams. So you actually feel like you’ve got plenty of fans Or, you know, at least cricket fans that have, you know, supported you or, you know, lots of people come up to me and say, Oh, I’m from Kolkata or I go for KKR. So it’s nice feeling like not everyone’s against you,” Cummins said

In his first match as captain at the storied Eden Gardens, Cummins will be back in familiar territory as he takes on his former team, the Kolkata Knight Riders. The game is scheduled for March 23, the first double header of the 2023 season.
After finishing last season at the bottom of the table, SRH will be hoping that Cummins can put them back in the running for the playoffs this year.
