In a surprising turn of events, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag has declared that a new “Mr Cool” has emerged in the world of cricket. Contrary to popular belief that MS Dhoni won the title for his indomitable calmness, Sehwag believes Australian skipper Pat Cummins deserves praise after his exceptional performance in the first Test of Ashes series 2023 against England at Edgbaston.
The formidable fast bowler Cummins not only showcased his bowling prowess but also his batting skills in the fourth innings of the decisive Test match. With Australia needing 282 runs to win and struggling at 209/7, Cummins stepped in with wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey. The situation looked grim when Nathan Lyon was reduced to 227/8 with Cummins at the crease. However, the pair defied the odds and spearheaded an extraordinary turnaround. Together, they built a strong 55-run partnership for the ninth wicket, which eventually led to a historic victory for Australia on the final day of the Test.
Cummins contributed 44 runs from 73 balls, including two sixes in a single over off Joe Root, showing his unwavering determination and ability to perform under immense pressure.
