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.

With this, he became the second most expensive player sold in the auction in the history of 17 seasons of IPL.

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.
