Known among teammates as a dessert lover (particularly cake—no surprise there), Cummins usually ends his birthday practice session with whipped cream in his hair, cake crumbs down his shirt, and a lot of laughs in the SRH camp. This year is no different, and you can bet that the 2025 SRH captain will be caked up—literally—before the day’s done.
A Career Built on Grit and Glory
While today’s all about saying happy birthday Pat Cummins, it’s also a great time to reflect on how far he’s come. Making his debut for Australia at just 18, Cummins quickly showed his promise as a tearaway quick. But his path wasn’t smooth. Injuries kept him out of Test cricket for nearly six years. Still, Cummins never gave up.
Since his return in 2017, he’s taken close to 300 wickets in Test matches, captained Australia to an ICC World Test Championship title, and led them to ODI World Cup glory in 2023, defeating India in a massive final. As a fast bowler, he’s relentless. As a captain, he’s calm and clever. It’s no wonder SRH were thrilled to make him the 2025 SRH captain after his standout leadership with Australia.
Pat’s Impact in IPL
Speaking of the IPL, let’s talk about how Cummins has fared in the orange jersey. In 2024, he was a revelation for SRH. The captain had taken 18 wickets last season and helped guide the team to a surprise finals appearance, coming just one step short of the title.
But this season, things haven’t quite gone to plan. SRH have struggled with form, and 2025 SRH captain too hasn’t had his usual bite with the ball. So far in IPL 2025, he’s picked up nine wickets at a slightly expensive economy rate of 9.60. His best figures, 3/26, came in a match against Mumbai Indians, but even that couldn’t steer his team to enter playoffs.

Still, his presence in the side remains vital. Cummins’ leadership, both tactical and emotional, has kept SRH steady through tough patches. And though the playoffs are now mathematically out of reach, there’s no denying the 2025 SRH captain still has the respect of his squad and fans alike.
Win or lose, we rise together 🧡

Sadly, it looks like the Sunrisers’ dream of lifting the IPL trophy this year is over. Despite flashes of brilliance, SRH’s inconsistent form means they’re officially out of the playoff race. Six losses in their first nine matches made the climb too steep, even with some late-season momentum.
Happy Birthday Pat Cummins！
But even in a disappointing season, Pat Cummins’ birthday celebration gives fans something to smile about. A reminder that cricket’s more than just wins and losses. It’s about characters, stories, and moments. And Cummins, without doubt, is one of the best characters in the game.
So, here’s to the fast bowler, the skipper, the cake-lover, and the leader. Once again—happy birthday Pat Cummins! May your yorkers stay sharp, your birthday cake be chocolate, and your next season be a winning one.
