Fantasy Cricket Tips — Pat Cummins
IPL 2026 captaincy, venue & matchup analysis
₹9.5 Cr
Strike pacer — wickets in powerplay and death
⭐⭐⭐⭐ GL captain on seam-friendly pitches. Low ownership, high ceiling.
Ahmedabad (fast, bouncy — suits his pace). Wankhede (seam movement early).
Eden Gardens (KKR spinners dominate; Cummins left out in favour of Mark Steketee).
SRH's batting depth means Cummins often doesn't bat long — but his bowling ceiling is 70+ pts.
Seaming pitch: captain. Flat/slow pitch: fade batting value, monitor playing XI.
Right-handers in powerplay — swing and bounce. Best with the new ball.
Powerplay IPL 2026: 10 wickets at 6.8 econ. Death overs: 6 wickets at 9.2 econ.
Expensive but justified on seam-friendly pitches. Monitor SRH playing XI for batting-order changes.
