The Australian quick <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/he-has-been-gutless-and-has-disrespected-the-coach-mitchell-johnson-slams-pat-cummins-after-justin-langers-exit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pat Cummins</a></strong> is one of the greatest in the world right now. The skills he has to produce genuine pace in his game is something that every team wants in a player. He always builds pressure on his opponents by bowling the tightest imaginable lines and lengths. Cummins&#8217; game has never been that of producing big swing, but that too has seen some spike in the past few years.

For his performances and consistency with the Australian team, he was rewarded with the team&#8217;s captaincy in the longest format. His first assignment was the Ashes, in which he did a phenomenal job by dominating the series throughout. They won 4-0 against England. This also makes him a prospect for captaincy in the IPL.

Cummins started playing for Kolkata Knight Riders, then moved to Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) in 2017, and then returned to KKR with a staggering price in the auctions in 2020. He was released ahead of the 2022 season. His performance in the tournament has not been great, but his international stats cannot be overlooked. Further, he can be handy with the bat too and provides depth in the batting order by playing at No. 7 or 8.

Here are the teams that might target Pat Cummins in IPL 2022 mega auction:

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/mi-mumbai-indians/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mumbai Indians</strong></a> managed to retain only half of their core team. They had to let go of players like Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, Quinton de Kock, and Trent Boult due to the limit of players allowed to retain. But, they did retain Jasprit Bumrah who has been their leader in the bowling department for years.

Mumbai Indians usually like to have an overseas quick that can be the face of their bowling attack along with Jasprit Bumrah. Earlier it was Lasith Malinga, then it was Mitchell McClenaghan, and for the last two seasons, it was Trent Boult.

Now with Boult being released, Cummins can very well replace him in the team. He is a player of high caliber, and Mumbai Indias always looks for a player like him in the auctions. They can make huge reservations for him in their budget.

In an interesting choice of retentions, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/dc-delhi-capitals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Delhi Capitals</strong></a> let go of Kagiso Rabada going into the 15th season. However, they held on to Anrich Nortje, who has been a great find for them in the last two seasons.  His genuine pace has given him some great results, and along with Rabada, he has been a match-winner for the Capitals.

The two formed a good bowling duo and had had numbers to back them. With the help of their bowling, Delhi was able to reach the final for the very first time. Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant were great captains to these bowlers, as they provided them the freedom to plan out the games.

Pat Cummins can be a good replacement to Rabada and form a good pair with Nortje. If Delhi does go after him in the auction, they will have to pay a good price for him as many will look to buy him. He is a player who can help them lift their maiden IPL title.

With just two retentions this year, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/punjab-kings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Punjab Kings</strong></a> is looking to form a new looking team for their 2022 campaign. They retained Mayank Agarwal as their primary player and Arshdeep Singh as their uncapped player. They will have to rebuild their core now that they have released the likes of KL Rahul, Mohammad Shami, and Chris Gayle.

Mayank Agarwal is likely to captain the side, but they might be looking for someone else who can be in the leadership group too. Pat Cummins can fill in that role, as he has a great understanding of the game, and a bowler who can captain a team is a rare commodity.

He will also fill in a gap that has bothered PBKS in the past of bowling in the powerplays. He can also be a great mentor to the young blood that Punjab retained in Arshdeep Singh. Cummins can be their main bowler, and they can build a unit around him that is of good caliber.
