The Midas touch that Pat Cummins has enjoyed in his captaincy career has helped propel him to another major international final, this time with Indian Premier League side Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Cummins, who's taken Australia to a triumph in the World Test Championship and 50-over World Cup in the last year, was thrilled to lead his success-starved team to the final of T20's juggernaut event on Friday, steering them to a comfortable 36-run semi-final win over Rajasthan Royals in Chennai.
It was another feather in the leadership cap of the 31-year-old pacer, whose remarkable success has long since silenced any of those critics who doubted his tactical acumen.
