Pat Cummins on SRK, Indian Fans & Captaincy

I still pinch myself to confirm that I actually did record this podcast episode with Pat Cummins - the number 1 Test bowler in the world and a man for whom my respect and admiration know no limits. I had the pleasure and the privilege of first speaking with Cummo during an IG LIVE that I had hosted while he was in quarantine in his hotel room in Chennai prior to the start of the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) -   / cnaoj48odaw   The aforementioned chat was the first of many more interactions, both on-camera and off-camera, that would follow throughout the course of the season. I know that I’m not saying anything you don’t already know but Pat Cummins is an absolute class act, not only as a Cricketer but also as a person. In this episode of The Anubhav Jain Show, I spoke with Pat about the forthcoming birth of his first child, his decision to start his YouTube channel, his reaction to all the chatter around Pat Cummins being next in line for the Aussie captaincy, his interesting first encounter with Shah Rukh Khan, the best piece of advice he has ever received, his love for India, whether his broken middle finger helps his bowling in any way, his best friends in the Australian and KKR dressing rooms, and more that aimed to get to know the man better. 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2SQn75a 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3tS42MJ ✅ Subscribe to my channel - https://bit.ly/3kuVZSu 🍺 Support my work by buying me a beer - https://buymeacoffee.com/Anubhav ​​ ✅ INSTAGRAM - @anubhavkeanubhav   / anubhavkeanubhav   0:00 - Teaser 0:38 - Pleasantries 0:53 - Why and How I got Pat Cummins on the show 2:07 - Pat Cummins the soon-to-be father 3:35 - Pat Cummins on why he started a YouTube channel 7:54 - Pat Cummins on the prospect of becoming Captain of Australia 9:31 - Introduction to Q&A segment 10:01 - Wine or whisky or beer? 11:24 - Cummins’ interesting first encounter with Shah Rukh Khan and his thoughts on SRK as a person 12:56 - SRK poking fun at Pat Cummins for Cummo’s “awful” haircut during IPL 2020 15:17 - The best piece of advice Pat Cummins has ever received 17:49 - The aspect of his game that Pat Cummins wants to improve the most 18:38 - Pat Cummins’ guilty pleasure 20:20 - If Pat Cummins could only eat one food item for the rest of his life, what would it be? 21:24 - Pat Cummins’ best friends in the Aussie and KKR dressing rooms 22:53 - Pat Cummins on why India loves him so much 23:47 - Does Cummins’ short middle finger help his bowling in any way? 25:05 - If Steve Smith, Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, Joe Root, and Babar Azam are the PRESENT, which batsmen are the FUTURE? 26:14 - What routine does Pat Cummins go through immediately before the start of a match? 27:04 - Disclosing to Cummo how I prepared for this chat with him 27:58 - Reminding Pat Cummins about his promise to treat me to Samosas in Kolkata 28:30 - Pat Cummins’ reaction to Cummo being my number 1 man-crush 29:15 - Conclusion Channel Manager: Anshuman Sarda [email protected]   / anshuman_sarda   Thumbnail Designer: Tejas Badone [email protected] #PatCummins #Cummins #TheAnubhavJainShow
