Australia fast bowler Pat Cummins is now regarded as one of the best fast bowlers of the current generation. An 18-year-old Cummins was playing for New South Wales at the time and the fast bowler recalled he was stunned to see the crowd in India going wild. "The first time I landed in India was in 2011 to play the Champions League. In the warm-up, David Warner and Shane Watson, who were on our side whenever they ran to the boundary, the crowd will just go crazy. It must be noted that Sachin did not play in the 2011 Champions League T20 as he was ruled out due to an injury.
