Australian pacer Pat Cummins shattered IPL auction records, becoming the costliest-ever buy after being sold to Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 20.50 crore. An intense bidding war between SRH, CSK and RCB ended with the Hyderabad franchise splurging big on the 2023 World Cup winning captain. Cummins' dynamic leadership and bowling exploits recently guided Australia to both WTC and ODI World Cup glory. Though his T20 returns have been underwhelming, he has consistently earned massive paydays in past IPLs, including his 2019 purchase for Rs 15.50 crore by KKR. By breaching the Rs 20 crore ceiling, Cummins broke Sam Curran's previous high of Rs 18.50 crore. His arrival signals significant changes ahead for SRH.
