Indian Fan’s Witty Birthday Message for Pat Cummins Goes Viral
During the Sunrisers Hyderabad’s clash against Lucknow Super Giants at the Uppal Stadium, an Indian fan’s unique birthday message for skipper Pat Cummins stole the show. The message, displayed on a placard, read “Happy Birthday Silencer,” a clever reference to Cummins’ previous remarks about silencing crowds.
Cummins, known for his exceptional sportsmanship, celebrated his 31st birthday on Wednesday. The fan’s message, a blend of creativity and humor, quickly gained traction on social media.
The context of the message stems from Cummins’ statement before Australia’s victory over India in the ODI World Cup final last year. He had remarked, “Nothing more satisfying than hearing a big crowd go silent.” In the World Cup final, Cummins dismissed Virat Kohli, silencing the massive crowd in Ahmedabad.
Social media users praised the fan’s ingenuity. “He is an outstanding guy, and the poster is just awesome!” commented one user. “Haha, it’s really cool, no doubt! Yeah, it’s pretty awesome, no doubt about it!” wrote another. “Silence creator by captaincy and bowling,” remarked a third user.
Cummins’ leadership has been instrumental in Australia’s recent success, including victories over India in the ICC WTC Final and ODI World Cup Final. In the December auction, Sunrisers Hyderabad acquired Cummins’ services for a hefty Rs 20.5 crores.
The fan’s witty message not only celebrated Cummins’ birthday but also highlighted his impact on the game. It serves as a testament to the passion and creativity of Indian cricket fans.
