Australia, the world champions, had been challenged by india for about ten years before the 2024–25 BGT. But this time, australia won the right to boast, and the roles were reversed. australia won the series and qualified for the wtc final at Lord's in june 2025 thanks in large part to Cummins' leadership and all-around efforts.
Pat Cummins had a really unusual chat with the official broadcasters throughout the series.
"You have a sizable fan base in india, especially among women. There are a ton of ladies, including me, who are crushing on you. Among them was my dearest pal. Among them was my dearest pal. "Oh, you are meeting Pat Cummins," she messaged me. I'm really envious of you. Everyone knows you're married, of course, but how do you attract women's attention?" the Australian star was questioned by Sahiba Bali, the anchor of Star Sports.
"I don't even know how you came up with that one, I just do my thing," Pat Cummins said.
"Do you even acknowledge it?" he was asked again.
"Obviously, in india, there are fans. They are crazy. You spend most of the time with the team, in the hotel, lot of the times family is there. So, you don't get too much of the one on one interaction," Cummins replied.
