Sunrisers of Hyderabad Captain Pat Cummins will be hoping to add another feather to his already distinguished captain’s cap on Sunday (May 22), as he leads Sunrisers Hyderabad against Kolkata Knight Riders in the highly anticipated IPL 2024 final.
Pat Cummins can become the first pacer and only the second bowler to win the IPL as captain. The only bowler to win the IPL as captain is Shane Warne, who led the Rajasthan Royals to a historic victory in the tournament’s debut season in 2008.
Pat Cummins appeared to be in great spirits when speaking to the media during the pre-match news conference, even though he would undoubtedly be under pressure to perform as captain in the championship game.
While waiting in the press room, the Australian celebrity was spotted watching MS Dhoni’s sixes on TV. Social media users have been sharing the same video.
In Qualifier 2, Cummins led SRH to their third Indian Premier League final, defeating RR by a margin of 36 runs. After outwitting RR on a surface that favoured spinners in the second inning, SRH advanced to the IPL 2024 final.
