Once I make a commitment, I don't even listen to myself, this dialogue from Bollywood star Salman Khan's 2009 film Wanted was a superhit. This one line also had a big contribution in making the film a hit. Now after almost 14 years, Australia's legendary fast bowler Pat Cummins is also seen becoming Salman Khan of Wanted and fulfills the commitments he is making. Its biggest spectacle was seen in Ahmedabad on 19 November 2023 and now something similar is being seen in IPL 2024 also. Doubts were being raised about the success of Pat Cummins, who became Australia's Test captain in November 2021. It was believed that how can a fast bowler handle the burden of captaincy in Test cricket. Cummins has responded to all of these over the past two years, by making claims up front and then delivering on them.
Who can forget the roar that silenced people
Pat Cummins is currently the captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024, but last year he did not participate in the IPL to keep himself fit for the World Test Championship final and Ashes. Then he promised that he would win the WTC title. In June 2023, Cummins's Australian team won the title by defeating India in the final. But the biggest commitment moment for Cummins came on 19 November 2023, which has now become a part of history forever. As famous as Salman Khan's dialogue in the film 'Wanted' is, Pat Cummins's dialogue came on 18 November. At a press conference ahead of the World Cup final against India in Ahmedabad, Cummins said that nothing could be better than silencing 1 lakh people. On November 19, Cummins silenced the entire India including Narendra Modi Stadium by taking the wicket of Virat Kohli and made Australia the champion.
did what he said
Even after this, if anyone has doubts about Cummins' ability to fulfill his commitments, then he can take the latest example of IPL, where his team is doing the same. A few days before the start of the IPL 2024 season, Cummins, as Hyderabad captain, had said that he wants to see his team start the season aggressively and the first 2 matches are proof of that.
first match of the season
SRH lost by 4 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders in the first match of the season but while chasing the target of 209 runs, the team still reached 204 runs and never remembered what happened against Mumbai Indians on Wednesday, March 27. Will go. Forget. Hyderabad scored the highest score of 277 runs in IPL history and proved their captain right by winning the match by 31 runs. Therefore, if Cummins says anything in future, it would be better that no team makes the mistake of taking it lightly.
