Smart captains who play with opponents' minds:

According to the report, Mark Taylor, Alan Border, Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke were the captains who learned the art of playing with opposing players as well as opposing minds in the 1990s to 2000s.


These captains were the ones who would throw phrases at a particular player or target a batsman in good form to distract the opposition.


How did Cummins prove to be different?


Pat Cummins said in one of his statements that "I believe in focusing on winning rather than wasting time on the opponents".


It is also worth mentioning here that no such complaint has been received against Pat Cummins, he is a very disturbed person.


Also in the final against India in the World Cup, Pat Cummins showed his usual captaincy for 15 overs but when the partnership between Kohli and KL Rahul broke, Cummins got excited while earlier he had a serious look on his face.
