In a single IPL season, Pat Cummins, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain, equaled Anil Kumble’s record and became the second captain in Indian Premier League (IPL) history to take as many wickets.
Cummins has 17 wickets this season, which is a match for Kumble’s from 2010 with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as he plays in IPL 2024.
The Australian pacer struck out one batsman during the Rajasthan Royals (RR)’s innings and thus surpassed another milestone on Friday before joining his team- mates in their hotel rooms.
Shane Warne still holds the best bowling figures by any skipper in an IPL edition. He achieved that feat while playing for Rajasthan in 2008.
The possibility of equaling or even surpassing that legendary Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne’s feat remains open to Cummins especially given the fact that his side will play against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens in Sunday’s final match-up.
Australia’s Test Captain who was bought by Hyderabad for INR 20.50 crore at the auction last year won both World Test Championship and ODI World Cup titles.
