Lucky Hyderabad Kid Gets to Bowl to SRH Skipper Pat Cummins | WATCH

Pat Cummins broke the hearts of Indian cricket fans when he led Australia World Cup triumph last year. The Australia cricket team got the better of Team India in the World Cup final held in Ahmedabad. Now, the Aussie skipper seems to be winning the Indian cricket fans back with his calm nature and down-to-earth personality. Cummins is currently involved in the Indian Premier League (IPL), serving as the skipper of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Taking time out of his on-field assignment, Cummins recently paid a visit to a school in Hyderabad. It was a fun-filled day out for the Australia international, who was spotted playing cricket with the school kids.

In a fan-made video now going viral on social media, Pat Cummins was captured swinging the bat at a playground inside the school premises. Many students marked their presence on the field to spend time with the World Cup-winning captain. One of them was seen bowling to Cummins, who definitely enjoyed sharing the crease with the kids.

Sharing the footage on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), a fan wrote, “Pat Cummins at ZPHS (Zilla Parishad High School). You have my heart, champ.” The video attracted many reactions from the social media users. The comments section was filled with red heart emojis, with fans lauding Pat Cummins for his humility.

One of them referred to the lucky kid, who got the opportunity to bowl to the Australian star. “This kid can say in future once I bowled to Pat Cummins,” commented the person.

Another user humorously assumed that Pat Cummins was practising batting before going up against Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Sunil Narine in the IPL playoffs.

Impressed by Pat Cummins’ humble nature, a person commented, “Oh my goodness, he's such a down-to-earth person.! Never fails to win hearts along with trophies of course!! But these kids, how so lucky?! I'm so jealous of them.! Imagine playing cricket with Pat Cummins in childhood.”

Under the captaincy of Pat Cummins, Sunrisers Hyderabad have put up a dominant performance in the ongoing edition of the IPL. They have already earned qualification for the playoffs. SRH are now third in the IPL 2024 standings, having secured seven wins in 13 appearances. Their last game against Gujarat Titans was washed out due to rain in Hyderabad. SRH will next host Punjab Kings in their last league game scheduled to be played on Sunday, May 19.
