'Madness. Merciless. Unbelievable.' - Twitter users in shock as Pat Cummins annihilates Mumbai

The spectators on Wednesday were treated to an absolute carnage by Pat Cummins. In just one game, the Australian superstar has stamped his authority in the Indian T20 league 2022. He changed the fate of the match in a matter of a few deliveries. This resulted in the two-time champions winning their third game of this season.

He walked in to bat when Kolkata were 101-5. The game was at balance when the Shreyas Iyer-led side required 61 runs in 41 balls. After which, Cummins showed no mercy on Mumbai's bowlers as he instantly started to play the big shots.

While Venkatesh Iyer was playing the role of an anchor, the Australian decided to be the aggressor. He went on to score an unbeaten 56 off just 15 balls. His knock came at a whopping strike rate of 373.33, and saw him hit four fours and six sixes. Thus, he went on to win the player of the match award as well.

"I probably think I'm most surprised by that innings. I'm glad that it came off. I was thinking of having a swing if it was in my area. Wasn't trying to overthink it. Very satisfying to do it on my first game this season. Was just trying to pepper the shorter boundary. The hard thing after a big auction is that there are a lot of changes from last year. It's a good mix of talent out there and quite relaxed with the boys," said Pat Cummins during the post-match presentation.

In the process, he also equalled KL Rahul's record for the fastest fifty in the history of the league. Thus, Kolkata chased the target with four overs to spare. This led to several fans appreciating Cummins for his unreal knock.

Here some of the Tweets that praised Pat Cummins:

Everybody was trolling KKR's batting and see we chased it in 16 overs!! 😭💜

Love this team! 💜💜

I began to compose a Tweet on Cummins and before I could complete, he went from 11 off 3 balls to 46 off 13. 😁
