NEW DELHI: How effective are bowlers, particularly fast bowlers, when they take the captaincy duties? The example of Australia's skipper Pat Cummins comes to mind in this ongoing debate.
Since taking over the reins of the Australia team in Tests and ODIs, Cummins hasn't disappointed as a leader and has been commendable in all departments. Under his captaincy, Australia clinched the ICC World Test Championship title in 2023 by defeating India in the final, followed by a triumph in the ICC ODI World Cup, where they conquered India once again on their home turf. This victory marked Australia's sixth ODI World Cup title.
