SRH hಌad bought Cummins for a staggering INR 20.50 crore in the IPL mini auction in December last year. The 30-year-old seamer thus became the second-most expensive player in the cash-rich league's history after his Aussie teammate Mitchell Starc, who was snapped up by Kolkata Knight Riders for I🃏NR 24.75 crore.
"Our new skipper Pat Cummins," the SR♔H franchise wrote on its social media handles, along with a picture of Cummins.
Cummins has earlier represented Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils in the IPL.
