Chennai. Sunrisers Hyderabad has shown a strong performance in the Indian Premier League. They made it to the playoffs by finishing in the top two. After losing the qualifiers, they made it to the finals through Eliminator 2. Pat Cummins, who has tasted success in ICC tournaments as a captain, is on the verge of achieving another milestone by winning the Indian Premier League title on Sunday. The Australian captain knows that every good thing has an end.
Cummins has had a stellar journey over the past year in which he led Australia to success in the World Test Championship and the ODI World Cup. He will lead Sunrisers Hyderabad against former champions Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2024 final on Sunday and will try to give the team a second title. Cummins said ahead of the IPL final, “It would be great to win the title but this journey will end at some point.”
He said, “These two years have been great but before this series I have not led any T20 cricket team. So I am not sure what to expect. This format is very fast-paced.”
Assessing his team’s performance in this season of the tournament, Cummins credited the mix of experienced and young players. He said, “Our bowling line-up is very experienced, which includes Jaydev Unadkat and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Along with this, many young players have also won matches on their own, including Nitish Reddy and Abhishek Sharma. We also have players who have been out of the Indian team but they have been great for us. This has been the journey of our team so far.
