“Cummins is one of those leaders who connect all together. Even more importantly, he’s a proven winner of the match with a great command in the dressing room.

This is what makes him a very special captain for Australia,” Harbhajan added.The former Indian dough and commentator Aakash Chopra also identified Cummins as the “biggest threat” for South Africa.“Pat Cummins is the biggest threat. His leadership, his bowling, when there is a partnership, his launch below down the order – contributes across departments.
