When it comes to giving a fitting response, there are very few cricketers in the world at the moment who are better than Australia captain Pat Cummins. Time and again, the star bowler has proved that he is one of the best in the business when it comes to delivering some brilliant replies.
He was at his best when Australia were in England for the Ashes last year. Australia faced severe criticism from the English media after Alex Carey’s controversial dismissal of Jonny Bairstow.
Pat Cummins, however, never really let the English media come out on top. In one of the press conferences during the Ashes, he was asked if Australia would resort to under-arm bowling. In reply, the Australia pace spearhead had hilariously said:
“Depends how flat the wickets get. Might be an option to turn to.”
He also delivered some iconic lines during the ODI World Cup in India where he led his team to glory. Pat Cummins showed his witty side once again and this time, he was up against a fan on Instagram. He recently posted a photo of himself and his wife on the social media platform. In the comment section, the fan wrote: “I am Indian I love you your wife.”
Pat Cummins noticed the comment and decided to react to it although hilariously as he wrote: “I’ll pass it onto her!”

A memorable 2023 for Pat Cummins:
Pat Cummins enjoyed a stellar 2023 as he excelled as a bowler as well as a captain. While not many were expecting him to do well as a captain, the Australia star proved his critics wrong and showed that fast bowlers can become good leaders as well.
Under his captaincy in 2023, Australia won the World Test Championship by beating India in the final before retaining the Ashes after drawing the series 2-2 in England. It was followed by a stunning triumph in the World Cup where Australia beat India in the final. Last month, he won the Sir Garfield Sobers Award as the ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year. The right-arm pacer was also named as captain of the ICC Test Team of the Year.
