Cummins’ defining moment came in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup final against India in Ahmedabad. His strategic captaincy, introducing Glenn Maxwell as a part-timer in the first Powerplay, led to pivotal wickets, including the dismissals of Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer. Cummins further stifled India’s batting with disciplined bowling, finishing with figures of 2/34 as Australia successfully chased down the target, securing the trophy for a record sixth time.
