Xtra Time Web Desk: Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins said he wouldn’t try to outsmart someone as skilled as legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Cummins, who is leading Cricket Australia, won the ICC World Test Championship in 2023 by beating India by 209 runs. Later that year, he also beat India to win the ODI World Cup for the sixth time.
Australia is known for its achievements, and Cummins is adding more trophies to their collection. Despite his success as a captain and player, he stays humble. He respects Dhoni’s skills and thinks it would be foolish to try to outsmart him.

He said, “My main job as a captain is to get the best out of our guys, so obviously, looking at the opposition a little bit and seeing what they’re doing, but I don’t think I’m going to try and outsmart someone like MSD.”
