Expert Take:
- Expensive Outings: Cummins has struggled to contain CSK batters, conceding 300 runs in 32 overs at a high economy rate of 9.37.
- Low Strike Rate: His strike rate of 38.4 means he’s picking a wicket every 6.4 overs – far below expectations from a premier bowler.
- No Big Hauls Yet: Despite being a world-class pacer, Cummins hasn’t claimed any 4- or 5-wicket hauls against CSK.
What It Means for Today’s Match
With Chennai’s batting line-up featuring powerful hitters like Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and MS Dhoni (if playing), Pat Cummins will need to bring out his best game. His past numbers don’t favor him against CSK, but form and leadership in IPL 2025 might just change the story.
Cummins has a point to prove against Chennai Super Kings. Will today be the day he turns things around, or will CSK continue their dominance over the Aussie pacer? All eyes on Chepauk tonight.
