Pat Cummins, the Australian skipper scripted history when he became the first player to touch the Rs. 20 crore mark in the auctions of the IPL 2024. He has been bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for a huge amount of Rs. 20.50 crore but a former Aussie pacer feels that T20 is not Pat Cummins’ best format.
The former Aussie pacer Jason Gillespie stated on a show, “Pat’s obviously a quality bowler and a quality leader, we’ve seen that. I just don’t think T20 is his best format. I think he’s a Test bowler, personally. I think Test cricket is his absolute bread and butter. He’s a good T20 bowler, make no mistake. But that’s massive overs for me.”
Jason Gillespie also talked about another Aussie pacer Mitchell Starc who was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for a whopping amount of Rs. 24.75 crore which made him the most expensive cricketer in the IPL history.
Talking about Mitchell Starc, Jason Gillespie said, “I think he’s a great buy. It’s a lot of money, we all acknowledge that, but the IPL is a very rich tournament… I’m absolutely delighted for Mitch. I think it just highlights how important teams value left-arm fast bowling and left-arm swing bowling at pace.”
Do you agree with Gillespie in regard to what he said about Pat Cummins?
