Famous speedster Pat Cummins has said that the sudden cancellation of the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) was heartbreaking. While he was playing for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), the team just started doing well in the league as well. However, the pacer was not happy with his own bowling performance in the league.

“When it got cancelled, it was pretty heartbreaking. I felt like we had just started doing well. I thought the second half would be going to be huge for us, Kolkata Knight Riders. We probably had proven how good we were. Personally I felt like, my bowling didn’t click, and that was upsetting,” said Cummins in a Youtube chat with fans.

However, IPL 2021 was postponed earlier this month after several players and support staff got infected due to the global pandemic novel Covid-19 inside the bio-secure bubble as well. “Match against CSK was tough. We needed 10 an over but made a match of it,” said Pat Cummins.

“The best thing about IPL is that you get to see so many players abroad that you are used to seeing on cricket field. Even if you don’t know them directly, one of your Aussie teammates is playing in the other side and through him you meet other players,” added the fiery pacer.

“There aren’t too many cricketers that you don’t say good day to, haven’t had conversation with. Everyone’s forthright in giving information and trying to help each other. First of all, we are cricketers and love each other. I don’t think anyone who is asked a question to help another player, not helped another player. I think that is a great thing in IPL over the last 10 years,” Pat Cummins concluded.
