The Aussies lost 9 wickets in the final session of day 4 which resulted in an innings defeat for them.

Pat Cummins has been ruled out of the remainder of the IPL owing to a minor hip injury and has flown back home for recovery.

Kolkata Knight Riders star Pat Cummins was thrilled after he tried pav bhaji at the suggestion of his Twitter followers. He was amazed that how he did not try the dish ever before even after being on trips to India for the last 11 years.

Kolkata Knight Riders' Pat Cummins on Wednesday smashed the joint-fastest fifty in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) during the clash against Mumbai Indians. His destructive half-century helped KKR win against MI with 5 wickets. Undoubtedly, this led to a meme fair on Twitter as netizens celebrated with golden tweets. Take a look!

With this win KKR are now the new table toppers.

The likes of David Warner, Pat Cummins and Glenn Maxwell will miss the white-ball series against Pakistan, but Cricket Australia will not release its contracted stars to join IPL immediately.

The 28-year-old all-rounder, who was with KKR the last season as well, was roped in by the Kolkata-based franchise again after a bidding war with Gujarat Giants and Lucknow Super Giants with the latter joining in late.

The Australian Test skipper also said that all the support staff and players gave feedback on Langer, and in the end, it is about Cummins standing tall with his players.

Cummins received flak for not backing the former coach in the lead-up to Langer's resignation.

Former Australia pacer Mitchell Johnson labelled Cummins as 'gutless' and said the Test skipper has an agenda to bring his own coach

Langer, under whose tutelage Australia hammered England in the Ashes and also won the T20 World Cup for the first time last year, has been in service for the past four years.

The 28-year-old Cummins was handed the captaincy on the eve of the Ashes series after Tim Paine stepped away from cricket when a sexting scandal became public.

Ever since the 2018 ball-tampering scandal, the Australian cricketing culture has undergone a serious review for its win-at-all-cost approach in the past.

Cummins was denied victory for the first time since taking over as skipper at the start of the series, but only by the slenderest of margins.  

Starc has done a turnaround from a below-average performance at the ICC T20 World Cup, and is now averaging more than 50 with the bat and less than 20 with the ball, which could earn him a batting order promotion at the SCG.

Cummins' statement came three days after Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley refrained from commenting on the issue of Langer's contract extension.

Cummins had gone out for a dinner with his friend Harry Conway, who plays for BBL franchise Adelaide Strikersk, at a restuarant in Adelaide ahead of the second Test when a patron at the nearby table was identified as a Covid positive case.

Cummins had been unavailable for the ongoing second Test after being deemed a close contact of a person who had tested positive for COVID-19, while Hazlewood was ruled out of the ongoing match with a side strain he sustained in the series opener at the Gabba.

Cummins had dined with fellow New South Wales and Adelaide Strikers fast bowler Harry Conway at Little Hunter Steakhouse on the eve of the ongoing Test following which he was replaced by Michael Neser in the Playing XI.  

Cricket Australia said South Australia (state) Health confirmed that Cummins was a close contact and will be required to isolate for seven days. It said Cummins should be available for the third test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground starting Dec. 26.
