Pat Cummins has been enjoying an incredible outing in international cricket in recent times as he led Australia to the World Test Championship as well as a record-extending sixth World Cup title in 2023. He won the ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year for his incredible performances and leadership displays last year. But his success is not just limited to Australia, as the new Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper has instilled the sort of mentality in his team which has seen them post three of the four highest totals by any team in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Under his leadership, the third-placed Hyderabad-based side have won five of their seven games in the ongoing season of the IPL.
Pat Cummins, an all-rounder in cricket, is also an all-rounder in life, as recently seen in a video that has gone viral on social media. Cummins showed that he is just as good as a father as he is a captain by looking after his son Albie Boston Cummins during flight.
In October, 2021, Pat Cummins and his then-fiancee Becky Boston welcomed their newborn Albie Boston Cummins, before the couple exchanged vows on August 1, 2022.
Pat Cummins was signed for INR 20.5 crore at the IPL 2024 auctions by Sunrisers Hyderabad, making him the first player ever in the history of the league to be sold for INR 20 crore or more. He was handed the captaincy reins ahead of the start of the 2024 season.

SRH have brandished a never-seen-before style of play, taking the attack to the opposition right from the word go. The likes of Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen have been dominant, and to be honest, to say that they have been dominant with the bat would be an understatement. They posted the highest-ever total in IPL history by scoring 287 against RCB earlier this season. In their previous game, the Pat Cummins-led side scored 125 runs in the powerplay en route to scoring 266, the highest team total at the end of the first six overs in all T20 history.
With five wins and two losses from seven games, SRH look on course to cement a place in the IPL 2024 playoffs and will fancy their chances of winning their first piece of silverware since 2016.
