Australian pace sensation Pat Cummins is riding high on a wave of confidence as he prepares to lead the Australian squad in the T20 World Cup. Fresh from a successful stint in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Cummins believes his game is in the best shape it has been in a decade. The 29-year-old’s impressive form in the IPL, where he played 17 consecutive games, has given him a sense of momentum and preparedness for the international stage.

Cummins’ IPL campaign was marked by his ability to adapt to different situations and conditions, skills that he believes will serve him well in the T20 World Cup. He emphasized the importance of sticking to a consistent format, which he believes makes a significant difference in the tactical side of bowling.

“Probably as well as I have for the last 10 years really,” Cummins told cricket.com.au of his T20 bowling on Monday. “We played 17 games straight (at the IPL). For the most part, international T20s are after the Test series, and you’ve got to try and hit a yorker or a slower ball, and then go back to a Test series.”

Cummins Set to Take Backseat as a Leader in T20 World Cup 2024

As captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Cummins not only honed his bowling skills but also developed his leadership credentials. However, he is content to take a backseat in leadership for the T20 World Cup, allowing his good friend Mitchell Marsh to take the reins. Cummins expressed his support for Marsh, stating that he is there to help if needed, but it’s ultimately Marsh’s show.

“I’m obviously there to help him if he needs me but it’s Mitch’s show. I’m certainly there to help … as are a lot of the senior guys, so he won’t be short of help if he needs it,” Cummins said.

Cummins’ confidence is evident in his words, and he believes that his game is in top shape. He is looking forward to making his mark in the T20 World Cup and helping Australia achieve success. With his experience and leadership skills, Cummins is poised to play a crucial role in the Australian team’s campaign.
