Recently, Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise has appointed Pat Cummins as the captain in place of Aiden Markram.
There is very little time left for IPL to start. It is noteworthy that the tournament is starting from March 22, and the first match will be played between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, before the start of this match, one-time champion Sunrisers Hyderabad has made a major change in the leadership of the team.
It is noteworthy that the franchise management has appointed Australian World Cup champion player Pat Cummins (Aakash Chopra) as the new captain of the team in place of Aiden Markram for the 17th season of IPL. So after this decision of the franchise, there are continuous talks in the cricket world.
On the other hand, now former Indian cricketer and well-known Aakash Chopra has given a big statement on this. Akash says have you seen his recent IPL numbers?
Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Pat Cummins
After Pat Cummins was appointed captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Aakash Chopra said through his YouTube channel – You have made Pat Cummins the captain but have you seen his recent IPL numbers? Look carefully, he concedes a lot of runs and doesn’t score that many runs with the bat. Only four foreign players play. He neither bowls in the powerplay nor in the death overs.
Chopra further said- If he cannot do all these things then you are spending 25% of your foreign resources on a player who did not have a place in the playing eleven of IPL at one time. That’s why Pat Cummins is not the captain of that team (Australia T20 team), but he has won the World Cup, not the T20 World Cup.
