Two people who can currently do no wrong on a cricket field are Pat Cummins and Jasprit Bumrah. If the latter all but turned a losing cause into a winning one with his twin strikes in the penultimate over in Visakhapatnam, the former having done the star turn with the ball earlier, struck a crucial boundary in the final over to seal the game for Australia. No wonder then that both were in focus ahead of the second and final T20I here this evening.

"Obviously he [Cummins] is doing really well for Australian team," said India's own all-rounder Krunal Pandya, addressing the media at the Chinnaswamy Stadium yesterday. "He's one of their main players when it comes to their bowling and batting, so we hope that we restrict him in batting and score a lot off him," added Pandya. Cummins himself was more lavish when it came to talking of Bumrah. "He is obviously a class act. He does two of the basics well — he bowls fast and he bowls accurately. At this stage, he has got a good slower bowl, a good cricketing brain and just executes his skill really well," said Cummins.
