In a spirited bidding war between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore, Hyderabad emerged victorious in securing Cummins.

Cummins, who led Australia to victories in the World Test Championship and the ODI World Cup Championship this year, is likely to assume the captaincy for IPL 2024 with SRH. Alongside Cummins, SRH also bought Travis Head, the man of the match in the World Cup Final, and Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga.
