Watch: Pat Cummins’ Heartwarming Gesture For Usman Khawaja During Ashes Trophy Celebration Goes Viral
Pat Cummins kicked off his Test captaincy career on Sunday as he led Australia to a 4-0 victory over England in the 2021-22 Ashes series. Following Tim Paine, Cummins not only helped his team keep the urn, but also played a leading role. After the fourth Ashes Test ended in a thrilling draw, the hosts beat Joe Root’s side in their fifth and final game to win 146 points in Hobart. After the win, Cummins won the hearts of fans with a brilliant gesture for batsman Usman Khawaja during the trophy celebration.
After receiving the trophy, the Australian players were preparing to open champagne bottles and spray each other. But Cummins realized that Khawaja couldn’t get involved.
So he gestured to his teammates not to put the bottle and asked Khawaja to join the trophy celebration. Khawaja was included in the starting XI as a substitute for Travis Head in the fourth Test.
The 35-year-old became the third player to hit a century in both Test innings at the Sydney Cricket Ground, scoring 137 and 101 (not out) against England.
He also became the sixth Australian batsman to score a double ton in a single Ashes Test.
Despite his powerful knock, England managed to take control of Australia and draw in the fourth Test.
Khawaja held his place in the fifth Test but failed to replicate the form of the previous match.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”
Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.
KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.
In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.
In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.
Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.
Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.
He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
