Pat Cummins was a six-year-old when Steve Waugh’s star-studded Australian team won the World Cup title in 1999. He remembers watching the final of 2003 when Ricky Ponting’s men added another trophy to their cabinet, beating India in the summit clash.
Two decades later, Cummins will be leading the Aussies in yet another World Cup final on Sunday, against a familiar opponent. And, he admits that it will be an ‘absolute privilege’ to clinch the title and create history.
“It would be huge (to win). We were all kids not too long ago, watching some of those great teams win the 1999, 2003, 2007 World Cups. That’s the opportunity ahead of us tomorrow, which is really exciting,” Cummins said on Saturday.
