Top 10 most valuable cricketers across all formats currently

9. Pat Cummins

Prior to the 2015 World Cup, it was the blazing left-arm pace bowling of Mitchell Starc that used to get first place on the team sheets across formats for Australia. However, with Pat Cummins overcoming his frequent injury woes since 2017, the right-arm pacer has eminently established himself as the primary speedster of the team in today’s times.

While his red-ball proficiency was all instantaneously known during his debut seven-wicket haul in South Africa, Cummins’s white-ball journey on the other hand did become efficient when the speedster had stiffened his body since 2016 to become a multi-format player. Now with his white-ball bowling getting fully inculcated with all the modern-day tricks, Cummins has an astonishing pile of 111 wickets from merely 69 ODIs along with 37 wickets in his 30 T20Is.

As six feet plus bowler, Cummins already had some innate pace and bounce and now can move the ball in both ways. Also, his evolution of bowling cutters with the red-ball makes him a persistent choice even when the team plays in Asian conditions.

Further, the right-hander already has a lethal bouncer that often gets in the mix with his moving ball in Test matches. Overall, the 28-year old even has a stupendous record in the longer format as from his 34 Tests, Cummins has scalped 164 wickets. Therefore that’s why indeed he’s the most competent pacer even in the bowling club of fab four.
