Irrespective of the final outcome, it was a season to remember for SRH. After all they managed to answer all critics with a redefined approach that was initially defined by their choice to go bold during the IPL 2024 auction, and later on the ground by their all-or-nothing brand of cricket
Both Gambhir and Cummins have been handed over the reins of their respective sides ahead of this season after both teams endured mid-table finishes over the past few seasons.

"I think Cummins showed real temperament in his captaincy. He changed his bowlers knowing he could put pressure on each India batter even though they were all in such good form. His tactics made all the difference and his planning and execution was perfect."
Cummins, who led Australia to the World Test championships title earlier in the year, also praised the passion in India for the game.
