Shreyas Iyer and Pat Cummins shared a humorous exchange before the IPL 2024 final between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Chennai. Both captains participated in a photo shoot with the IPL trophy, including a visit to Marina Beach and an auto ride that generated some funny moments.
Shreyas reminisced about his younger days when he used to ride autorickshaws and jokingly charged Cummins Rs 20 crore for the ride. This joke referenced the Rs 20.5 crore price tag that Cummins attracted from SRH during the IPL 2024 auction, making both players laugh. Shreyas also quizzed Cummins about his experience being part of the KKR team that won the IPL in 2014.
