Australian fast bowler and currently No.1 Test bowler Pat Cummins said that if he chooses the playing XI of the Test, then it will definitely include Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson and Steve Smith. Cummins has bowled against all three. Williamson is currently the No. 1 Test batsman, while Virat Kohli is at number five in the rankings.



Pat Cummins said in a question-and-answer session on YouTube, "I will put Kane Williamson at number-3, Steve Smith at number-4 and Virat Kohli at number-5 in my team." Pat Cummins has dismissed Kane Williamson twice in One Day International cricket, while Virat Kohli has shown the way to the pavilion seven times. Apart from this, Cummins has also given his prediction about the ICC World Test Championship final match between India and New Zealand from June 18.



According to Cummins, England's conditions will be more favorable for New Zealand, in which case the Kiwi team may have a bigger upper hand. This historic match is to be played in Southampton. He said, 'The two teams that have reached the finals are the best teams in the world and they have no weaknesses. Both teams have some batsmen who are the most difficult to bowl, but you want to face such challenges.

Pat Cummins also praised India's senior fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, saying that Kumar is known for bowling the new ball, where he moves the ball more than the others. Australian fast bowler strongly praised Kumar's death bowling. Cummins said, "When the speedster relies on his precision yorker and smart change of pace, he displays his variations."



“Bhuvneshwar Kumar is really skilled. He is a clever bowler. He has a really good yorker, he has some clever changes, and also one for which he is best known, swinging the ball both ways. As a fellow fast bowler, he is exciting to watch because there is always something happening, ”said Pat Cummins.
