Shreyas Iyer and Pat Cummins engaged in hilarious banter ahead of the IPL 2024 final between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad in Chennai on Sunday. Both the skippers took part in a photoshoot along with the IPL trophy which involved a visit to the Marina Beach and an auto ride that produced some funny moments. Shreyas spoke about riding an autoricksaw during his young days and even charged Cummins Rs 20 crore for the auto ride. The comment left both players in splits as it was a reference to the Rs 20.5 crore price tag that Cummins attracted from Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024 auction. Shreyas also asked him about being part of the KKR team that won the IPL back in 2014.
