PAT CUMMINS

Pat Cummins was bought for INR 15.50 Cr in the IPL 2020 auction and just couldn’t justify the price tag in the first half of the tournament. KKR expected Cummins to give them crucial wickets in powerplay overs, but he instead excelled with the bat more making 146 runs including his maiden IPL fifty- 53*.

Cummins did pick 12 wickets in 14 matches, but 9 of those wickets came in the last 4 matches including a spell of 4/34 against the Rajasthan Royals. His economy of 7.86 didn’t help KKR’s cause much, which led them to bring in Lockie Ferguson instead, who impressed more.

Cummins would definitely need to do more in the next IPL 2021 to justify that price tag if KKR decides to retain him and pay that hefty price.
