PAT CUMMINS (Australia)

Australia’s Pat Cummins had an impressive start to his career way back in 2011. But a serious back injury cost him five years of his career as he recuperated slowly but surely to get back to peak fitness. He then made a good comeback in 2017 and has not looked back since then.

"It was very romantic," says Becky Boston about Pat Cummins' engagement proposal

Cummins became the leader of the pack for the Australian team in all three formats despite a break in between when his back issues flared up again. But he has been able to be the workhorse for the Kangaroos in Tests and ODIs when the much-applauded Mitchell Starc struggled with his line and length and confidence.

Cummins has 143 wickets in 30 Tests, 98 scalps in 61 ODIs and 32 wickets in 25 T20I matches for the Australia team. He has also played in IPL and BBL with big success and was recently the most expensive foreign player ever when Kolkata Knight Riders bought him for INR 15.50 crore in IPL 2020 auction. Definitely deserved a spot in the fab-four of bowling in recent times.
