Irfan Pathan praised Pat Cummins for taking the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) to the IPL 2024 playoffs. He mentioned that the SRH captain has been an extremely successful captain for Australia.
SRH’s last league game of the season against the Gujarat Titans (GT) in Hyderabad on Thursday (May 16) was rained out. The one point they received owing to the no-result assured that the IPL 2016 winners qualified for the playoffs.

SunRisers HydeÂrabad finished at the bottom in IPL 2023 with Aiden Markram as theÂir captain. The Hyderabad franchise acquireÂd Cummins in the IPL 2024 auction and made him their skippeÂr for the ongoing season.
