One step forward in the last few weeks and two steps back today. Stop doing this. There is too much talent to keep doing this kind of work.” How can Pakistan Cricket lose Gary Kirsten’s with his resume in coaching? One step forward the last few weeks and two steps back today!

IPL 2024: Irfan Pathan criticizes Sunrisers Hyderabad for buying Pat Cummins at a high price in IPL auction
Pathan says that Cummins has not been able to prove himself yet in T20 cricket. Pat Cummins (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Indian cricket team all-rounder and cricket commentator Irfan Pathan has given a big statement criticizing Sunrisers Hyderabad’s purchase of Australian captain Pat Cummins at a huge price in the IPL auction. It is noteworthy that Cummins was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for a record Rs 20.5 crore in the mini auction held in Dubai in December last year. With this, he became the second most expensive player sold in the auction in the history of 17 seasons of IPL. So at number one was his compatriot Mitchell Starc, who was signed by Kolkata Knight Riders by paying Rs 24.75 crore. Irfan Pathan gave a big statement regarding Pat Cummins Let us tell you that Irfan Pathan said on Star Sports about Pat Cummins – I believe that Pat Cummins has not yet proved himself in T20 cricket. Forget about IPL, he has not been able to prove himself in T20 cricket for Australia yet. Irfan further said- He does not even captain Australia in T20 International cricket, so a question mark arises on receiving such a huge amount. Cummins’s statistics in T20 cricket are not good. However, how can you leave them out when you bid so much on them? Apart from this, Pathan said about the playing eleven of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the upcoming IPL season – they will have some trouble in choosing the final playing eleven, which is a good thing. It’s better to have a headache than not having an option. Hyderabad have a different team combination this time compared to last year, which I think is a better change.
