Former Australian speedster Jason Gillespie questioned Pat Cummins` IPL deal saying that T20I cricket is not his best format. The former speedster also backed Mitchell Starc`s highest deal in IPL history. Australian skipper Pat Cummins received the second-highest check at the IPL 2024 auction. Four teams Royal Challengers Bangalore, Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad raised the price during a bidding war on Tuesday.
"Pat`s obviously a quality bowler and a quality leader, we`ve seen that. I just don`t think T20 is his best format," Gillespie told SEN Radio.
