Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins wants Hyderabad to start their IPL campaign in an aggressive manner. Cummins, who was purchased by Sunrisers Hyderabad as the second-costliest player in the history of the IPL, is set to lead Sunrisers in the upcoming IPL season. Cummins had his first training session with the Sunrisers on March 20.
Cummins said, “Well, I picked the singlet, which is not normally me, but it was the only shirt I found. The rest are packed away. So yeah, maybe next time I’ll be wearing sleeves, but orange looks great.
Uniforms. Awesome.”
Cummins further said that he is eagerly waiting to work with some of the guys and tell them what is expected from them in this year’s IPL.
Cummins said, “I mean, the plans are, you know, I work really closely with the guys that I don’t know too well. Get to know them. Get to know what they need from me out in the middle. And then, you know, work with coaches and what they want to see out of me as well as a player.”
“So, a bit of planning to go and then just want to get off to a really good start. T20s are hard. Kolkata’s a good team, but I just want to see a really aggressive start to the season.”
Cummins further added, “I think we’ve got a great mix. We’ve got a couple more experienced guys, like Bhuvi. Obviously, Aiden Markram was captain last year. But we’ve got some exciting young talent. I’m super excited to see guys like Abhishek and Umran Malik—these kinds of guys I’ve only seen a little bit of but super excited about, so I think fans should be pretty pumped for the season ahead.”
Sunrisers will start their campaign against Kolkata Knight Riders on March 23 at Eden Gardens.
