Watch: Shreyas Iyer pokes fun at Pat Cummins’ hefty price tag
Ahead of the IPL 2024 final between the Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad in Chennai, both Shreyas Iyer and Pat Cummins were involved in hilarious banter. Both the captains took part in a photoshoot along with the IPL trophy, which involved a visit to Marina Beach and an auto ride that produced some funny moments.
Shreyas spoke about riding an autoricksaw during his young days and even charged Cummins Rs 20 crore for the auto ride. The comment left both players in splits as it was a reference to the Rs 20.5 crore price tag that Cummins attracted from Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024 auction. Shreyas also asked him about being part of the KKR team that won the IPL back in 2014.

At the end of the league stage, the Kolkata Knight Riders topped the points table and defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 1 to book their spot in the IPL 2024 final. On the other hand, Sunrisers had to bounce back from the defeat against KKR with wins over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the eliminator and Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 to set up a high-profile summit clash at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai.
