Cummins’ impact goes beyond just his leadership on the field. His signing, along with Travis Head, laid the foundation for SRH’s resurgence after missing playoffs for three seasons.

With the IPL final against KKR approaching, Cummins has the opportunity to join the ranks of legendary bowling captains like Shane Warne by potentially finishing the season with the most wickets and lifting the coveted trophy.
