Pat Cummins is rewriting the IPL playbook. As the league’s only fast-bowling overseas skipper, he has defied immense pressure to pilot Sunrisers Hyderabad into consecutive playoffs.

Cummins isn’t just leading; he’s dominating the world’s most competitive T20 environment with ice-cold precision and visionary leadership.
