Cummins says, “I was a part of the Kolkata Knight Riders, we won in 2014. A couple of days after the final we went back to Kolkata, went to the stadium, just to do a kind of a walking fanfare. And the stadium was packed.”

“It was about 80-90 thousand people just waving back at the team and the streets were lined with a few hundred thousand people just to get a glimpse of the team. And it’s just a different world.”

“And then you know you back home and your missus doesn’t even look at you. It’s like hang on, I had half a million people two days ago (laughs),” Cummins added.
