Finch and Cummins are teammates at the Kolkata franchise in IPL 2022. The former made his debut for his ninth team in the T20 competition when he turned out for KKR against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) last week.
In an interview on KKR’s official YouTube channel, Finch expressed his admiration for Cummins’ batting exploits the batter. Referring to his record-equalling fastest IPL fifty (14 balls) against the Mumbai Indians (MI), Finch said:
The 35-year-old opening batter also praised Indian southpaw Venkatesh Iyer, terming him a fantastic player. The Aussie limited-overs skipper opined that Iyer has many options because he is tall. Finch elaborated:
Iyer has not had a great run in IPL 2022 so far. After seven matches, he has 109 runs to his name at an average of 18.17 and a strike rate of 102.83.
“Yeah, of course” - Aaron Finch admits being disappointed on not getting picked at IPL auction
Before joining KKR as a replacement for Alex Hales, Finch went unsold at the IPL 2022 mega auction in February. He had put up his name in the ₹1.5 crore bracket. Asked if he was disappointed at not being picked, the experienced batter admitted:
The Australian white-ball captain was dismissed for seven on his KKR debut. However, he followed it up with a scintillating 58 off 28 balls against the Rajasthan Royals (RR). Chasing 218, Kolkata fell short by seven runs. KKR are currently seventh in the standings with six points from seven outings.
