NEW DELHI : There seems practically nothing that Pat Cummins cannot achieve these days and his latest batting heroics in the Indian Premier League (IPL) only served to confirm that his Midas touch has not deserted him yet.
Pat Cummins's knock of 56 runs in just 15 balls came as a surprise for his rival captain Rohit Sharma as Mumbai Indians (MI) succumbed to a five-wicket defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) here at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Wednesday. "Never expected him to come and play like that! A lot of credit to him for the way he played, " said Mumbai captain Rohit in the post-match presentation ceremony. Mumbai Indians started off pretty slow as they scored only 35 runs for the loss of one wicket in the six overs of powerplay. The five-times champions were 98/3 in 16 overs and went on to score 63 runs in the last four overs to take their total to 161, courtesy Kieron Pollard's 5-ball 22.

The IPL press release, however, doesn't exactly specify the breach.

I'm glad that it came off. I was thinking of having a swing if it was in my area. Wasn't trying to overthink it," Cummins said at the post-match press presentation ceremony.
