How Pat Cummins’ love for technology lured him to Major League Cricket

The highly regarded Australian skipper Pat Cummins is preparing to travel to the United States for the forthcoming Major League Cricket season. Cummins made almost INR 1.8 crore per match in the most recent season of the IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024, whereas an average participant in the event may earn up to INR 2.5 crore for seven matches and two finals.

The San Francisco Unicorns, led by businessmen Anand Rajaraman and Venky Harinarayan, have come out as major supporters of the Australian skipper, Pat Cummins, and have recruited him for the 2018 MLC season.

Pat Cummins’s degree of technological acumen and vision for the future are major assets to our team, but we were already big admirers of his before he joined. After his playing days are over, Rajaraman told the Sydney Morning Herald that he is considering his career options beyond cricket and is considering how to do innovative things at the junction of technology and cricket.

The fact that Pat Cummins and the ace pacer both have a passion for technology was a major factor in the agreement with Unicorns. According to Pat Cummins’ management, the World Cup winner had the opportunity to learn something new from the CEO of YouTube and Adobe, both of whom have connections to San Francisco.

He finds learning about these topics incredibly fascinating, and he is a really inquisitive man. The chief executive officers of YouTube and Adobe are among the many notable figures associated with this brand. “It just opens up Silicon Valley,” remarked Neil Maxwell, manager of Cummins.

It should be noted that Washington Freedom has the support of Cummins’ home state of New South Wales, whereas Unicorns have the backing of Cricket Victoria. The deal was made feasible since Pat’s arrival at San Francisco Unicorns offers a door to Silicon Valley for Rajaraman and Harinarayan. Nick Cummins, chief executive officer of Cricket Victoria, made it clear that Cummins does not desire further opportunities to play cricket.
