Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins has been in the news for quite some time after he had made a contribution of $50,000 (over 37 lakh) for oxygen supply in India in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has again grabbed attention, but this time for a funny reason.
Amidst the gloomy situation with the Indian Premier League (IPL) being postponed, the speedster had happened to attend a YouTube show named 'Players Lounge' where he interacted with sports presenter Mayanti Binny Langer.
However, after he attended the chat show, Cummins - who wanted to share about the talk on social media - tagged Indian opener Mayank Agarwal instead of Mayanti.
Good fun chatting to @mayankcricket and @Swannyg66 on the Players Lounge Podcast a couple of weeks back! https://t.co/elURWhdx4v

Agarwal was pretty prompt to respond and replied saying, "You got the wrong person Pat". Later, Mayanti also replied 'epic' with a couple of 'laughing out loud' emoticons.

Talking about the environment in KKR and playing with the likes of Shivam Mavi and Prasidh Krishna, Cummins said he got the chance of mentoring them.
"We have got a great set-up here and it starts from our owners, it’s very relaxed, just a great bunch of people especially the fast bowlers we have got (in KKR) 4-5 young guys who have played under 19 cricket started to get a taste of international cricket.
"Prasidh Krishan debuted for India a couple of weeks ago and they are great to work with. I will learn more of them than they can learn off me," Cummins was quoted as saying.
As for the IPL, Cummins had a reasonable campaign despite going for a few runs with the ball. He also played a couple of handy knocks with the bat in hand.
