Will Cummins be able to justify his price tag?
Bought by SRH for a staggering INR 20.50 crore in the mini-auction of the cash-rich league, Cummins swiftly assumed the captaincy reins of the side. Despite lacking prior experience in leading a T20 team, the 31-year-old has maintained his stellar form and guided SRH to their first IPL final in six years. Cummins has emerged as the second-highest wicket-taker for his team in the currꩵent season, claiming 17 scalps, and has also made valuable contributions with the bat. Should SRH secure the coveted league title, Cummins will undoubtedly validate his significance for the team and justify h꧅is price tag.
