The two-time World Cup champion feels that Cummins getting Rs 20 crore 50 lakh is too much for the Australian captain.
Speaking to SEN Sportsday SA about whether Pat Cummins didn’t deserve such a big bid, Gillespie said, “I think so.”
The Australian Captain is A Great Test Bowler:-
Gillespie also raised questions on Cummins’ T20 credentials. The former fast bowler claimed that although the Australian captain is a great Test bowler, he does not feel he has had that much impact in T20s.
Gillespie said about Pat Cummins, “Pat is a quality bowler and a successful leader, we have seen that. I don’t think T20 is his best format.
I think he is a Test bowler personally. I think Test cricket is his entire livelihood. He is a good T20 bowler, make no mistake. But these are very big overs for me.”
