Indian Premier League: Legendary fast-bowler Jason Gillespie has questioned whether Australian captain Pat Cummins deserves a $3.67 million (INR 20.5 crore) Indian Premier League contract, and labelled the huge deal "massive overs".

Cummins, who led Australia to a World Cup title last month, was signed by the Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 20.5 crore in Tuesday evening’s IPL Auction following a four-way tussle between the Chennai Super Kings, the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Mumbai Indians.

Gillespie, who represented Australia on over 150 occasions and has coached the Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League since 2015, believes that Cummins T20 performances haven’t warranted a $3.67 million contract.
