As Australian captain Pat Cummins prepares to lead his team against India, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy presents a crucial test. With a 73% win rate, Cummins is under pressure to achieve a significant series win. Australia hasn't won a Test series against India since 2014-15, and after back-to-back home series losses, the stakes are high. The fiercely competitive series is expected to define Cummins' captaincy legacy.
Jasprit Bumrah and Pat Cummins are changing perceptions in cricket by proving that fast bowlers can be effective captains. Historically viewed as too physically burdened for leadership roles, their success is paving the way for more bowlers to lead teams. Both captains emphasize the role of responsibility, strategic planning, and adaptability, hoping to inspire a new trend of pacer-captains in cricket.
