Australia was number 10th in the point table at some point and from there, they won the World Cup. Did you know the fact is that Pat Cummins is the first Australian captain to win the World Cup as a bowler? They have played eight World Cup finals and they have won six of them which is incredible. The day was not for India. They have played better cricket in this tournament but the final result is unfortunate. Team India had a similar situation against Australia in the group-stage match. But they managed it well and won the match from there.
After 65 years Aussies have named a fast bowler a captain i.e. Pat Cummins. Ray Lindwall was the previous fast bowler who captained Australia in one test match in 1956. But I think Australia as a unit is so strong that it doesn't matter who is there captain. Since 1999 Aussies are dominating cricket in all formats, there domestic setup is so mature that there are always players available to replace the specialists one upon there retirement.
Australia has achieved great things in world cricket this year. They won the Test Championship trophy by defeating India in the final of the World Test Championship followed by The Ashes series win against England and lastly they won the ODI World Cup for the sixth time. Pat Cummins led well It must be said that it is easier for a captain to lead when other players in his team are performing well. Australia has always been a balanced team and everyone who plays for this team plays for the team so it is very easy for the captain to lead. Pat Cummins is lucky to have captained Australia because this team has all types of players and all types of players are world class which is why Pat Cummins has led well as captain.
