Wish you all the best for just the IPL: Bhuvneshwar Kumar sends hilarious wish for Pat Cummins
SRH veteran bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar extended best wishes to the skipper on his birthday. In a video shared by SRH on social media, Kumar jokingly said, “Wish you a very, very happy birthday. Wishing you all the best for IPL, and specifically just the IPL.” The video quickly went viral on social media. Notably, after the IPL 2024, Cummins will join Australia’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad.
Considering how his side defeated India in the ODI World Cup 2023 final, and WTC 2023 final, the Aussies would be Men in Blue’s biggest threat. The tournament is set to begin on June 1 in the USA and West Indies.
