Australian captain Pat Cummins was left in splits as two Aussie podcasters took a hilarious dig at South African pacer Kagiso Rabada ahead of the World Test Championship (WTC) final at Lord's Cricket Ground. The two podcasters referred to Rabada's recent drug ban and asked question about the same to Cummins, who couldn't control his laughter.
Amid his IPL 2025 stint for the Gujarat Titans, Rabada had returned home for what was initially mentioned as personal reasons. Later, it was revealed that the right-arm speedster had tested positive for cocaine, thereby copping a ban for the same.
With Sam Higgins saying:
"Must be nice knowing Cummins that Kagiso has got a contact if the boys want to kick on after the game."
