The speedster was in the spotlight when he took seven wickets for 117 runs in his Test debut in 2011. You might wonder why someone who scalped seven wickets has never played again in almost six years. Well, persistent injuries are the prime reason for the pacer’s absence in the longer format.

In his first Test match at Johannesburg, Cummins ripped apart the South African batting line-up. He had a quiet outing in the first innings but it was in the second innings where he snatched six wickets and also struck the winning runs in a historic 2-wicket win.

He was declared the Man of the Match for his 79/6 in the second innings.
