In this match, Sunrisers captain Pat Cummins left no stone unturned to win the hearts of the fans with his bowling and his captaincy and that is why he has become a favorite of Hyderabadi fans.

Hyderabadi fans are loving him so much as if he is an Indian player and not an Australian player and you can understand an example of this by watching the video going viral.

Australia's World Cup-winning captain Pat Cummins seems to be having a great relationship with his new Indian Premier League franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad. Ahead of the 2024 IPL, the speedster was appointed the captain of SRH and since then the player has been receiving love and praise from Indian fans. The title song from SS Rajamouli's Telugu blockbuster 'Bahubali' was used in this video with the caption “Captain Sir, we love you Anna.”

Let us tell you that in the auction, Sunrisers Hyderabad bought Pat Cummins at a huge price of Rs 20.50 crore and he became the second most expensive player in the history of IPL. The franchise is also performing well under the captaincy of Cummins and is at fifth position in the points table after winning 3 out of 5 matches played so far this season. They will play their next match on April 15, 2024 against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
