Pat Cummins is a relaxed man.
Be it changing sunglasses every few minutes — he is brand ambassador for Carrera Eyewear — or posing for selfies with fans at a meet-and-greet at Chennai’s Phoenix MarketCity, Pat, as he is popularly known, could well come across as regular ‘Australian mate’ material.
Except, he isn’t. On the cricket field, Pat Cummins is anything but relaxed. A lanky fast bowler who charges in at 150kph on a cricket field, he gives batsmen across the world sleepless nights: they are trying to work out ways to counter his pace. As captain of the Australian team, he is also well known to marshal resources to get the best out of his men in yellow.
