Additionally, during the last IPL auction in December month, Cummins was brought by Kolkata Knight Riders. His fees were staggering INR 15.5 crore. It seems this high amount of fees brings more responsibilities on his shoulder. Furthermore, he also said that he owes coach Brendon McCullum and the staff a few dinners for showing confidence in him.

I think I owe Baz and the rest of the staff who picked me a few dinners at least. (laughs) Someone like Baz, I have played against him, a great cricketer and an international captain.

KKR’s official website quoted Cummins as saying.

On top of that, Cummins insisted he is ready to play for KKR and he’s very excited with the team KKR arranged for this season.

I think a big contract brings big responsibilities, but more than anything, it brings a lot of excitement. Once you are out there, you forget about the contract really quickly, and it’s mainly about being with the team and trying to win. I am really excited to be with the squad we put together for this season.

Meanwhile, Cummins indicated that he was once played for Kolkata. He told he is excited and his first experience in IPL with KKR.

I am very, very excited. My first taste of the IPL, and my biggest taste of India was when I was in Kolkata representing the Knight Riders. I was a few years younger than I am now. I absolutely loved it. Within our team, we had so much experience.
