Expert Take on Cummins’ Record vs GT
Pat Cummins has been disciplined and economical in his outings against Gujarat Titans. With an economy rate of just 7.04 against a powerful GT batting lineup, he has shown that he can restrict runs in the middle overs. Though he hasn’t picked up big hauls, his 2 wickets from 7.4 overs show that he can apply pressure and break partnerships.
His best bowling figure of 1/26 highlights his ability to contain the run flow. However, in a high-scoring venue like Ahmedabad, Cummins will be expected to bring out his best — especially with GT batters like Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler in top form.
Why Cummins Will Be Key Today
With SRH fighting for survival in the playoff race, Cummins’ leadership and bowling rhythm will be crucial. GT has been aggressive at the top, so early breakthroughs from Cummins can swing the momentum in SRH’s favor.
Bowling under lights, especially with dew setting in, will also test Cummins’ control and execution of slower balls and yorkers — something he has improved upon in recent seasons.
As the battle between Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad unfolds in Match 51, fans will have their eyes on Pat Cummins, not just as a bowler but as a captain trying to guide SRH to a much-needed win.
