Pat cummins

Earlier, Cummins broke the roof as he became the costliest player in the history of the Indian Premier League when he was acquired by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for Rs 20.50 crore on Tuesday at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai.

Social media users reacted to the 'quiet', no fanfare arrival of Pat Cummins and some of his teammates at the Sydney airport. Indians wondered how the Indians players would have been received with 'Dhol Nagade' had they won the cup.

While several Twitter users expressed displeasure, stating that his act was 'disgraceful' and 'disrespectful' to the World Cup trophy, some users attributed the behaviour to cultural differences and stressed that it should not be criticised.

Pat Cummins played for the Indian Premier League in 2014, 2015, 2017, 2020, 2021 and 2022. His last appearance in the IPL was for the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Australian cricketer Pat Cummins donated AUD 50,000 to the PM Cares Fund which amounts to little over INR 29 lakhs.

The ICC Awards have been announced and England's all-rounder has been declared as the Best Cricketer of the Year 2019
