Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins spoke about the team’s strong showing in the ongoing IPL season despite joining midway through the campaign. He described the transition from stand-in skipper Ishan Kishan as smooth and noted the squad’s consistent contributions across matches. Cummins highlighted how limited swing, bounce and grip on modern pitches have altered bowling strategies in T20 cricket, forcing players to adapt quickly. He also addressed workload management for all-format cricketers, the physical demands of switching between Test series and the IPL, and the growing trend of resting players to prevent long-term injuries. Cummins expressed surprise at the aggressive batting of young talents and praised the aggressive style of play that has helped SRH reach the playoffs this year.
