IPL 2024 Auction: Memes Galore As Pat Cummins Becomes Second Most Expensive Player In IPL History
Cricket players, fans and pundits took to social media to share their views as Cummins broke the Rs 20 crore mark for the first time in the IPL auctions.
Australia's World Cup-winning captain Pat Cummins scripted history by becoming the second most expensive player in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Cummins was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 20.5 crore at the ongoing IPL 2024 auction in Dubai.
For a brief moment, Cummins became the highest-paid cricketer in the tournament only to be left behind by fellow Aussie teammate Mitchell Start, who was picked by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 24.75 crore.
"Proud to be joining SRH for the upcoming IPL season. I have heard a lot about the Orange Army. I have played at Hyderabad a few times and have always loved it. Can't wait to get started. Great to see another Aussie Travis Head over there as well. I think we are going to have a lot of fun this season and hopefully plenty of success," Cummins said in a video posted by SRH on X.
