Indian spin king Ravichandran Ashwin has praised Pat Cummins' tactical "brilliance" for helping Australia pull off the great World Cup heist.
Cummins has rightly been receiving plaudits for his captaincy in the aftermath of one of Australian cricket's finest achievements.
His leadership was questioned at times during 2023 - the biggest year for an Australian team on record as they embarked on a tour of India, the World Test Championship final, an away Ashes tour and then the 50-over World Cup.
