Former Indian opener, Virender Sehwag, has announced that a fresh Mr. Cool has emerged in the world of cricket, and the title no longer belongs to MS Dhoni. Sehwag believes that Australian captain, Pat Cummins, deserves the accolade following his exceptional performance in the first Test of the Ashes Series 2023 at Edgbaston against England.
Cummins is known for his formidable skills as a fast bowler, but in the fourth innings of the pivotal Test match, he showcased his unwavering determination and ability to perform under immense pressure with the bat. With Australia needing 282 runs to secure victory and struggling at 209/7, Cummins stepped up alongside wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey. Together, they forged a resilient 55-run partnership for the ninth wicket, ultimately leading Australia to a historic triumph on the final day of the Test.
Cummins’ contribution of 44 runs, including two sixes off Joe Root in a single over, caught the attention of the cricketing world and left Sehwag proclaiming him as the new embodiment of coolness in the sport. Fans eagerly await the second Test between Australia and England in the 2023 Ashes series, scheduled to commence on June 28th at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.
With Sehwag’s endorsement and Cummins’ outstanding performance, a new chapter unfolds in the realm of cricket, leaving fans curious to witness how this charismatic leader and his team fare in the remaining battles of the Ashes series.
